: Twitter is an enemy of free speech and tolerance.
|
|
- Pre-Musk Twitter was an enemy of free speech and tolerance. Examples include them shadow banning conservatives (and admitting it, on-tape), some of their employees getting excited about violating their members privacy (assuming those members are conservatives/Trump), and how they suppressed anti-Hillary tweets during the election, and anti-Biden truths like the Hunter Biden Laptop. That's scarily Orwellian. It's still their company and they get to be as dicky as they want to be with it (within the bounds of the law). But I'm going to point out their moral terpitude just so that consumers can make an informed choice -- not as any call to action (legal, governmental or otherwise).
YAWYD! You are what you do. We can have the nicest words and intent, but what matters is our actions. So if a person (or company's) words and actions conflict, judge them by the actions. And with that in mind, here's a summary of things that Twitter has done: comparison:

Coronavirus as hate |
---|
Democrats never let an opportunity to politicize, demonize and hate go to waste. Corona Virus (COVID-SARS-2) was a delicious opportunity to undermine election integrity, freedom with artificial and unhelpful polarizing mandates, and the delicious ability to attack anyone that didn't immediately tow the progressive/fascist line. |

A trans-activist in Canada (previously known as Jonathan Yaniv) was trying to force women to wax his genitalia. Since one refused (they didn't offer Manzilians), he filed a complaint with the British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal citing gender identity discrimination, demanding financial restitution. |
Mother Teresa quote twitter blocked as a hate speech |
---|
Mother Teresa, "Abortion is profoundly anti-women. Three quarters of its victims are women: half the babies and all the mothers." That was blocked by Twitter as hate speech. Seriously. When asked by Ted Cruz, they refused to admit so, but said the context mattered. How is one saints opinion hate speech? Imagine all the biblical or Koranic quotes that need to be purged! |
Oversharing (2018) |
---|
Project Veritas video showed how Twitter would share Trump's private messages, a little too gleefully. While they have a history of being loose with our privacy, the majority of the point was "with the DOJ". That's not just a good idea, it's the law. So I don't have much of a problem with this (other than the DOJ is corrupt). But the gleefully part is concerning. |
Twitter bans Erick Erickson for Elizabeth Warren Joke |
---|
Conservative radio host and blogger Erick Erickson got banned for "hateful conduct", for the following joke: “Elizabeth Warren set to introduce the Wrecking American Prosperity Under Marxism, or WAMPUM Act, wherein she gives everything away for free.” (A Wampum is a traditional Native American jewelry bead made from shells). |
Conclusion[edit | edit source]
The question is whether there's a trend and a pattern of bias or bad behavior that we can see? And the answer is we can, if we scratch the surface and look. Is Twitter as bad or worse that Facebook or Google? Don't know, don't care. The problem is that they're bad at all. Censoring others for a political agenda means you're not a communication platform but a propaganda arm of the DNC (or far left) -- the degree of filth is for someone else to decide, the facts are we've caught them repeatedly being filthy.

File:BetterBlackrockSaudi.JPG I am very worried about Elon Musk owning Twitter. We must keep Twitter in the hands of people we can trust. People like Blackrock, Morgan Stanley, and the Saudi royal family. At least we know that they always have our best interests at heart. |
