The Government Colluded with Twitter to Censor

[sturg33]

Admit you're wrong admit Twitter isn't doing a better job in content moderation and just say the truth you like Elon not a random gay dude who Elon decided to ruin his life.

Why would I admit that when it is not true?

Elon is doing a better job of removing child porn accounts than his predecessor, whose sole focus was on censoring conservatives and publicly wondering how young is old enough to consent to sex

For whatever bizarre reason, you have spent a lot of time going to bat for the latter

How many posts in this 501 post freak out session by the loudest fake oppressed little man with the most time to post while waiting for Ubers is bitching about the actual sitting head of the gov’t requesting and getting things deleted off twitter at that time?


I’m guessing very little if not zero lol

this is possibly the worst sentence ever constructed. your mom was a horrible educator

 

[goldfly]

So, zero

That’s what I thought

 

[sturg33]

More and more evidence of collusion.

Meanwhile the fbi was basically employed by twitter and they could not be bothered to tackle the child porn.

The horror.

Yeah that’s pretty bad.

We’ve already established that the government was making content moderation suggestions to Twitter. What exactly is the new information here?

There are some details I would like to know. Such as how much of the content targeted was foreign sourced and specifically hostile state sourced. How much entirely domestic. I understand the two are not always easy to disentangle but it would be great if Taibi could provide some details. Also would like to know a bit more about what went into the decision to suppress the Post's story on Hunter's laptop. Did the FBI or any government agency tell them to do it? I'd like to see an answer to that question. In clear language.

yeah the issue is that's illegal.

 

[mqt]

yeah the issue is that's illegal.

What was illegal?

FBI: “We believe some user violated your TOS”

Twitter: *moderates their own content*

I don’t want the government in the social media moderation business either, but that doesn’t make this illegal.

any type of government pressure is influencing a private business' ability to police their own platform.

if the fbi came calling me and told me I should look into doing something I wouldn't otherwise do, that 1. makes me do something I otherwise wouldn't have done, and 2. puts pressure on my to comply for fear of punishment

I know you are very naive but this really isn't complicated

It’s certainly more complicated than you’re making it out to be as it pertains to the legality of the actions.

you are free to maintain your "that's bad but..." persona... but its probably appropriate for you to understand that even in the most generous interpretation of what has happened is teetering on an attack of free speech, and is much more likely to tip to that side than the other... Elon musk is doing the country a huge service right now

(and that is most generous interpretation of what has happened)

 

[Tapate50]

Isnt the government supposed to protect speech?

Not take it away from people they don’t like ?

Too ccpish?

yeah but bruh, ya see? they didn't technically take it away. they just applied pressure to other entities who did take it away. totally clean! totally free speech!

Covid made everyone really fine with taking away liberties little by little.

I’m not sure but it’s probably a lot.

Almost as many as you whining about fascism the last 4 years while your side was openly practicing it and you stuck your head up your ass about it like you knew better than anyone else.

Full on clown show

Lol, sure thing tap50

Wild to see how far right you’ve run. To think I use to think of you as a sensible person lol

 

[cajunrevenge]

I agree. Tapate struck me as a sensible person when he first started coming by here but the Stooges have clearly rubbed off on him.
