Elon Musk wants a free speech utopia. Technologists clap back.

[Formerly Black Trash]

Playing devil's advocate,

Wasnt twitter and YouTube more fun back in the days when it was the far West?

Yeah
But something had to be done about far right disinformation

I'd rather we just go back to message board days

 

[Godless Socialist CEO]

White people are desperate to be racist on the internet. Musk is mad that his employees aren’t allowed to call black workers ******s 50+ times and segregate them on purpose from white workers on the job anymore (yes that actually went on at Tesla look it up)

He’s South African that alone should set off racism alarm bells

 

[Ozymandeas]

I know some of the PayPal dudes are embarrassed of him. Peter Thiel is a racist a$$hole just like Musk so they probably got along well but I know Reid Hoffman wishes he would shut up.

 

[Doin2Much Williams]

Elon is too rich to want to be ratchet lol

Grow up dude

Naw, this is why i love 'em.




Seed up an artist like Grimes, see him smoke a dank at a podcast on camera and expect the bloke to act otherwise, srehs.




Obviously, i don't welcome conventionality and don't conduct myself righteously in social realms and professionally in business. Cuz I really don't give a fukk and appreciate those who are just as unorthodox.




Let the free world reign like Kemp.

Imagine thinking the internet being like ****** is a good thing

 

[¯\_(ツ)_/¯]

My view is the same as now. If Elon becomes owner of Twitter and wants to take it over and turn it into *****/Gab 2.0 that’s his prerogative.

It’s the same argument for those that want Twitter to allow right-wing disinformation to thrive on social media without consequences. These ppl that run the website can choose the terms of how their website operates.

If Elon becomes owner I’d flood every right-wing post with porn pictures and other violent disturbing images from like rotten.com.

 

[Stir Fry]

I agree with the techies. Free speech should be limited to things said in-person where there can be some accountability tied to their words. It shouldnt apply to anonymous fonts on the internet.

If he wanna buy twitter and turn it into a Trump site that's his right If Twitter wont sell the site to him that's their right

We got no say in dis Twitter a private company it's all on them

 

[desjardins]

What would happen if you sent a company wide email at Telsa calling Musk a fakkit?
Exactly
mofos only want the free speech they agree with. I heard if you go on Fox News or Breitbart sites talking trash about Trump they quick to ban you too. shyt is a farce

 

[bnew]

That's all it is


They can make thier own platform to do all they want


But they want to do on Twitter because it's far reaching


And they don't want to be in a echo chamber

some people forked reddit open source code to make voat.co a free speech platform after complaining about censorship. predictably it had a lot of racism , misogyny and conspiracy theorists yet a lot of people who still complained remained on reddit because they wanted the massive audience to recruit. digg.com has a ton of alt-right brigaders that would organize off site to submit propaganda. these people are unable to build platforms that attract a variety of people the way others can so they always end up trying to co-opt communities.

The OG JBO was completely unmoderated..
shyt was like the wild west..

We had to be stopped..

Translation: "let me be able to spew my racism without incurring any blowback"

 

[Robbie3000]

I’m so sick of this conman.

 

[WaveMolecules]

“Free speech” has lost all meaning.
