Conservatives who believe in absolute free speech

Twitter's old days and ways. Will it get better? lol it's Musk, who the hell knows. It was biased before, that's for sure. Isn't musk a yuge dept of def contractor?
Anyhoo, below are some thoughts on the twitter files that demonstrate how the former twitter regime dealt with vital topics at strategic times, e.g. Hunter Biden's laptop "debunking' by twitter's regime before Poopy got in office. Do you folks wonder if that may have had some ramifications that we will live with for a long long time?
Do you folks have any views on this at all?

11:04 Part 1 Laptop
26:23 Part 2 Blacklisting, shadow banning
38:18 Part 3 J6
48:04 Part 4 DJT
52:07 Part 5 DJT ban


Given that you are running for president, what's your take on this vid?

I think if I were to run Twitter I would do the following:
1. Delete posts that break criminal law such as calling for violence/making threats, suspend those accounts, and notify law enforcement
2. Note posts containing libel (status in the courts and provide details of those outcomes)

I would not try to do any real time truth monitoring. I would let the courts decide that. Everybody from pro-slavery Nazis to woke non-binary Marxists would be welcomed to express their views. Let the best ideas win!

TreeFrog, Cuddles has a point there. Your BabylonBee threads are obnoxious in their frequency. There's too many of them, and you do not warn readers of those threads that it is satire.

There are readers who believe in that tripe, because they do not know the source! Be more responsible there, yes?

Go back and look at some sample size and see whether I deliberately typed Bab Bee at the beginning.

Take some responsibility for getting a clue from that.

Some people are just coming up with whiney little reasons to exclude conservative material. If you see post you don't like just skip over it.

Also, I have Cuddles blocked so he only sees my posts because he logs out to read as a visitor. So, don't do that. I solved his problem by putting him on block,

Former NYT columnist Bari Weiss releases ‘Twitter Files Part Two’
by Julia Shapero - 12/08/22 9:47 PM ET

Former New York Times columnist Bari Weiss released the second installment of the “Twitter
Files” on Thursday night, sharing images of accounts that Twitter allegedly placed on various
types of “blacklists.”

Weiss posted several images of what appears to be an internal Twitter system that marked
certain accounts as being under various kinds of “blacklists,” in addition to flagging other
information about the accounts.

Jay Bhattacharya, a health policy professor from Stanford University who opposed COVID-19
lockdowns, appeared to have been placed on a “Trends Blacklist,” as was the right-wing Libs of
TikTok account, according to the photos.

The account of conservative commentator Dan Bongino was apparently placed on a “Search
Blacklist,” while the photos seemed to show Turning Point USA President Charlie Kirk had his
account marked as “Do Not Amplify.”

The images also appeared to show that several of the accounts had been flagged with “Recent
Abuse Strike” and that more basic information, such as when the accounts were “Twitter Blue
Verified” or “High Profile,” had also been noted.

Weiss also shared purported screenshots of internal messages from Yoel Roth, Twitter’s former
head of safety and integrity, including one in which he appeared to ask for research on “non-
removal policy interventions like disabling engagements and deamplification/visibility filtering.”

Weiss’s Twitter thread is the second installment in what Twitter CEO Elon Musk has dubbed the
“Twitter Files.” The first installment, released by independent journalist Matt Taibbi, appeared
to show an internal debate at the social media company over how to handle a New York Post
story about Hunter Biden.

Elon Musk Suspends Washington Post’s Taylor Lorenz From Twitter After She Asked Him for Comment on a Story

Didn't bother to read the piece, did you?

...The disabling of Lorenz’s account — in this case apparently based on allegations of “doxxing” unrelated to anything currently posted by Lorenz’s Twitter account — makes it appear that Musk, who has called himself a “free speech absolutist,” is now waging a campaign to keep information and commentary critical of him off the platform he bought for $44 billion.

In the Substack post, Lorenz said there were only three tweets live on her Twitter account when it was banned: two that promoted her profiles on TikTok and Instagram, and a third asking Musk for comment on a story involving Musk that she and WaPo colleague Drew Harwell (whose account was banned and then unbanned) have been working on.

At least two journalists Twitter banned and then unbanned this week, Aaron Rupar and Tony Webster, denied they posted any information that could be construed as “doxxing,” which refers to sharing someone’s private information online without their permission. “This is not the free speech we were promised,” Webster tweeted Friday night. “To be clear, there was no ‘doxing’ — even if an impulsive, accountable-to-nobody oligarch said so.”



Nice try, though.
