So what has he done wrong? Allowing free speech for both sides? Lol
I don't see any examples of left winged views not being allowed
Musk is promoting and amplifying one side's views.
Just like Trump's alleged bullet wound, the distinction between these two things only matters because of exactly how Musk uses HIS version of the story. And HIS version of the story is simply untrue.

To a lesser degree, yes. I would still be critical of the hypocrisy. But, I do not believe that the views on the other side of Musk's are nearly as dangerous, when amplified, as Musk's views.randylahey wrote: ↑Fri Sep 06, 2024 10:15 pmWould you have an issue if musk was amplifying the other sides views?jfish26 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 06, 2024 4:04 pmYou are wallpapering right over the issue, which is that "allowing" and "allowed" are not the right words.randylahey wrote: ↑Fri Sep 06, 2024 3:50 pm

Re: Government efficiency commission
Fish you had zero problem when people were being silenced and censored, despite them doing nothing wrong. Speaking out against things you disagree with is exactly why we have free speech, and how this country was founded. The freedoms you enjoy in this country began with free speech, and in the beginning were also attacked and punished by tyrannical leaders
Fish you also have zero examples of musk censoring or silencing leftist voices. He is just giving everyone a fair platform to speak, and exposing that other platforms did not.

Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?

Re: Government efficiency commission
Fish right now you are openly campaigning against free speech. Im going to give you this benefit of the doubt, because I know you are just too deeply ingrained with your political team. Being able to openly speak out about things you disagree with is exactly why we have the 1st amendment
Musk making the move to acquire Twitter gave power back to the people. A powerful internet tool for voices to be heard. And that's exactly why the "political ruling class" hates it, and wants you to hate him
They don't want the people to have a platform to discuss the corruption occuring within our government

Re: Government efficiency commission
If you do not understand that pushing specific preferred things up makes non-preferred things smaller by comparison, I'm not sure how to process the rest of this. I would just note that a platform that pushes preferred things up is inherently not "fair" - WHICH IS FINE. There is NO requirement that a social media platform be "fair."randylahey wrote: ↑Sat Sep 07, 2024 8:29 am Fish you had zero problem when people were being silenced and censored, despite them doing nothing wrong.

What is not fine is pushing preferred things up, and telling us that the platform is "fair."

I think it's just hard for you to admit that you are getting lied to by the people you so strongly support and campaign for
