When Stinky Elon took over twitter, I kept hearing everyone complain about all the bigots on there. But I haven’t seen any bigots on there. Why? Because I’m not following any of them and I’ve never gone looking for them

There’s already laws on the books for the things you mentioned, that’s not what I was talking about at all.

You really want people to be policing everything everyone says everywhere?

Racism will expand if you censor it.

How many racists have a big audience? And I mean openly, explicitly racist. Not the dog-whistle racism from Fox news.

People have been censored by automated systems for just criticizing racists. Yes, that means that all the people who call them out for being shitty get censored too.

Yes, bigots are bad. And if you see a bigot on the internet, you don’t have to click on their profile or view anything they put out into the void…And it is a void by the way, the amount of people that their content appeals to is a very small number of people.

So what’s the harm in them having a platform if hardly anyone will even pay attention to them?

dealing with someone who physically shows up to your place unwanted and uninvited isn’t the same thing as allowing them to tweet mean things.

The reason you’re allowed to say that is because of free speech.

If these companies are going to control what’s on their platform then they shouldn’t get a liability shield.

They’re a bookstore censoring the content of the books they have in the store.

If you don’t like what someone has to say online you don’t have to click on their profiles or follow them or read what they’re saying.

EXACTLY! All of these people complaining about bigots “everywhere” where are they? I don’t know, because I’ve never gone looking for them and I’ve never clicked on any of their profiles. The only time I ever hear what bigots say is through the filter of people making fun of them and de-bunking their arguments.

For all the people that downvoted me. CLICK AWAY FROM THE THINGS YOU DON’T LIKE. No one’s making you look at it!

Too bad the democrats cheated Bernie twice in a row.

Supporting free speech means allowing people you hate to talk too. Censor a Nazi one day, then the next day it’s something your weird friend likes, then the next day it’s something you like.

Everyone deserves a platform online, but they have to earn their audience. Censoring them is only going to make more people want to go to other platforms to hear and see what they have to say.
