This is such a familiar call from Trumpers and I've never really understood it, perhaps you can help me out.You know "many fine people" didn't refer to the neo-nazis.
I don't think it will do much good, sadly.Keep the photos and explanations coming.
I think that quote is mis-attributed, believe it was Elon MuskI think I found a banner for this thread guys
Checks out, low information posterI glaze over most of your posts so I actually wasnt aware. I also dont care.
Oh and throw in some gaslighting too, niceMate, Im not sure what you are going through IRL but you seem to be in a battle with yourself and are taking it out on people here.
That is the truly sad bit.
As mentioned sincerely before, I hope you come out the other side ok.
Isnt the issue with Elon that he WASNT banning Covid misinformation according to everyone here? His lack of action to prevent speech being the obvious qualms you hadI think that quote is mis-attributed, believe it was Elon Musk
An amazing mastery of nuance on display hereWe aren't Nazis but we spout Nazi conspiracies. Got it.
We are either Nazis or we aren't. You are trying to walk both sides of the road.
Jeeeeesus christGood. It took a while, but we got there in the end.
Facepalm
Feel free to examine his posts (they're the same dude) where he openly spruikes Nazi shit, anti immigration nonsense, white power shit and worse.
Those I havent deleted of course. So most of the worst ones are gone.
He's just one of the pleasant people I get to engage with on a daily basis. Grumpy old campaigners like you are the least of my problems.
You dont see what I do. There are some genuine shitcampaigner Nazis floating around these parts.
I don't believe Elon owned twitter during covid, no.Isnt the issue with Elon that he WASNT banning Covid misinformation according to everyone here? His lack of action to prevent speech being the obvious qualms you had
That has nothing to do with anything though? He said they can advertise, they just choose not too. He didnt ban them from advertising? He is as close to a free speech absolutist as the world has... which is sad not a good thing btw.I don't believe Elon owned twitter during covid, no.
I'm talking about him being a (former, I suppose) free speech absolutist, expressly telling advertisers to go **** themselves then suing them when they did just what he suggested. Among other instances.
Its pretty funny.
HmmBourbons you know this, there were ordinary protestors (your every day centrist American), counter protestors (your every day leftist American) and the far right that disrupted the event. The many fine people were referring to every day people on both sides.
Dunno mate. When he says you had some very bad people in that group, I assume he's talking about the neo-nazis yeah? Issue being he then immediately continues to say "but you also had very fine people". Also unsure why he started to say "they didn't put themselves...", thats exactly what they did.Reporter: "The neo-Nazis started this. They showed up in Charlottesville to protest --"
Trump: "Excuse me, excuse me. They didn’t put themselves -- and you had some very bad people in that group, but you also had people that were very fine people, on both sides.
Oh come onHe is as close to a free speech absolutist as the world has...
Exactly what im saying. He is a shocking advocate for free speech yet is the best we have. How pathetic is that?Oh come on
He's literally suing people coz they chose to not have their products associated with content on his site. Free speech not applicable to the companies making those decisions?
Plenty of bans of journalist accounts critical of him too.
The "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville wasn't planned and organised by neo-nazis? Yeeaaaah gonna need a citation there lol. A guy by the name of Jason Kessler organised it, seems like a lovely bloke lolThat quote is a loaded question and you're assuming the foundation of that question was accurate, the protest wasn't just started by neo nazi groups.
Is it? Go on...That's not a free speech issue, it's an anti-trust issue. Different topics.
Ah ok, gotcha. Yep he is indeed a shocking advocate for free speech, which makes his free speech absolutist shtick very funny. He also said twitter should be politically neutral prior to buying it and hosting campaign events for DeSantis and Trump, bloke is practically a comedianExactly what im saying. He is a shocking advocate for free speech yet is the best we have. How pathetic is that?
I mean UK are jailing people for memes and mean tweets.... Elon is above that yes. He is suing companies and not individuals.
Stoking racial hated online is a complete load of crap. What is the definition of stoking exactly and who sets it? Stoking is not a word with a clear and set definition as far as I can seeAh ok, gotcha. Yep he is indeed a shocking advocate for free speech, which makes his free speech absolutist shtick very funny.

Being jailed for stoking racial hatred online I think you mean, but happy to look at specific examples.
Haven't read a whole lot about it, mostly Tommy Robinson supporters posting absolute crap (which includes Elon himself funnily enough lol)Stoking racial hated online is a complete load of crap.

Thanks.I'm not following the issue deeply but my high level understanding is that the claim is that a number of advertisers are engaging in illegal cartel conduct by taking a united, intentional approach, not to advertise on Twitter in an attempt to force changes at Twitter. It's the same argument as if Coles and Woolies were to set grocery prices to price out Aldi etc.
It wouldn't be an issue if one advertising company elected to do it independently, but I believe (again, not following it closely) that the accusation is that its an agreed approach behind closed doors and anti-monopoly laws generally make that illegal.

But like I said happy to read up if you feel some specific instances are out of line.

I know, I wasn't aiming to provide one....That isnt a definition, its a example....
Then how is it a active law that works?I know, I wasn't aiming to provide one....
Quite a few hate crimes listed there, so at a glance it would seem yes thats what people are being jailed for. You may disagree with definitions of course.Have you also looked at the registrar for arrests on social media posts?
Love the fact that it takes your geo location when you go to this website also
It never explains what they did... 7000+ arrests without definition. Seems democratic and defined?
