The agenda is 100% the upholding of white supremacy and systematic racism.

I’m in a digital media literacy class right now, so how digital media effects policy and governance is another big topic. zuckerberg always seems posted up in Congress doing some shyt, for example

Right. So to sensor on thing and let another destructive behavior go unchecked is also a way to uphold W.S.

Does anyone think that the current way Twitter is run is better than Elon owning it? I’m not saying I’m a fan of his by any stretch of the imagination but the way Twitter is being censored in one direction is very concerning… does anyone here believe in any kind of free speech? What are the limits to free speech?

what direction is twitter being towards?:jbhmm:


Paradox of tolerance. The paradox of tolerance was described by Karl Popper in 1945. The paradox states that if a society is tolerant without limit, their ability to be tolerant will eventually be seized or destroyed by the intolerant. Popper came to the seemingly paradoxical conclusion that in order to maintain a tolerant society, the society must be intolerant of intolerance.

You continue to reveal exactly who you are with this type of personal attack. If you don't think some people aren't smart enough to be exposed to certain information without becoming radicalized, that's your opinion. I'm just pointing out that it's bigoted.

Nah gang for real I’m not even a supporter of Elon he lost me mad bread with his market manipulation… but who decides who is banned off Twitter? What’s the standard what is acceptable? I can pull up some fukkED up tweets about black men being useless garbage trash with 10s of thousands of likes. But since women are saying it it’s cool? Who decides though??

damn near every social media site and forum have a code/rule of conduct page.

The Twitter rules: safety, privacy, authenticity, and more

Twitter's purpose is to serve the public conversation. Violence, harassment and other similar types of behavior discourage people from expressing themselves, and ultimately diminish the value of global public conversation. Our rules are to ensure all people can participate in the public conversation freely and safely.


Safety

Violence:
You may not threaten violence against an individual or a group of people. We also prohibit the glorification of violence. Learn more about our violent threat and glorification of violence policies.

Terrorism/violent extremism: You may not threaten or promote terrorism or violent extremism. Learn more.

Child sexual exploitation: We have zero tolerance for child sexual exploitation on Twitter. Learn more.

Abuse/harassment: You may not engage in the targeted harassment of someone, or incite other people to do so. This includes wishing or hoping that someone experiences physical harm. Learn more.

Hateful conduct: You may not promote violence against, threaten, or harass other people on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, caste, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability, or serious disease. Learn more.

Suicide or self-harm: You may not promote or encourage suicide or self-harm. Learn more.

Sensitive media, including graphic violence and adult content: You may not post media that is excessively gory or share violent or adult content within live video or in profile or header images. Media depicting sexual violence and/or assault is also not permitted. Learn more.

Illegal or certain regulated goods or services: You may not use our service for any unlawful purpose or in furtherance of illegal activities. This includes selling, buying, or facilitating transactions in illegal goods or services, as well as certain types of regulated goods or services. Learn more.

Authenticity

Platform manipulation and spam:
You may not use Twitter’s services in a manner intended to artificially amplify or suppress information or engage in behavior that manipulates or disrupts people’s experience on Twitter. Learn more.

Civic Integrity: You may not use Twitter’s services for the purpose of manipulating or interfering in elections or other civic processes. This includes posting or sharing content that may suppress participation or mislead people about when, where, or how to participate in a civic process. Learn more.

Misleading and Deceptive Identities: You may not impersonate individuals, groups, or organizations to mislead, confuse, or deceive others, nor use a fake identity in a manner that disrupts the experience of others on Twitter. Learn more.

Synthetic and manipulated media: You may not deceptively share synthetic or manipulated media that are likely to cause harm. In addition, we may label Tweets containing synthetic and manipulated media to help people understand their authenticity and to provide additional context. Learn more.

Listen folks, if you're advocating for the wide range usage of racist hate speech you need to ask yourself a question. Did society already reject this kind of language? Yes, in fact that they did. Was it good for society to reject this kind of rhetoric? Yes in fact it was. If you're advocating for this you're part of the problem. Black men advocating to help white supremacists spread their beliefs is disgusting and just silly to the point of parody. Clayton Bigsby is not a real person fam. Once again THEY'RE NOT fukkING TALKING ABOUT YOU HAVING FREE SPEECH WHEN THEY SAY THIS shyt, YOU MORONS. Why the fukk does this need to be spelled out to you?

Not to mention Elon Musk doesn't fukk with free speech and there's no evidence that suggests he's in favor of it at all outside of racism.

They are talking about white men being able to say racist shyt any time they want. This was already widely rejected by society so I'm not sure why anyone wants to go down that road again. Please stop fukking taking racist white men at face value. This shyt isn't hard folks.

Love the message, all of you need to remember these rants and not be hypocrites when women and LGBTQ are the subject and not racism.

Is society more civil when people want to say things but don't because they fear the consequences of saying those things? We may have the patina of civility but juuuust under the surface....

:francis:
I'm not really talking about something as simple as holding your tongue, which is why I mentioned people becoming more aware of the effects of their language. A better understanding can lead to a change in values. I can personally attest to that.

Free speech = Freedom to speak out without fear of reprisal from the government.

Free speech =/= Freedom to speak out without consequence (from individuals, private entities).
White people have worked hard over the past decade to muddy the waters on what the first amendment actually means. They want people to think that society as a whole shouldn’t be allowed to police speech. Only thing the first amendment protects You from is government retaliation

It’s just Pet usual Americans lacking the education needed to understand what they’re actually discussing.
