        So Twitter. “Cool”.

          What do you mean? Twitter censorship is at times as bad as it comes.

            Didn’t ban Trump until he literally tried to stage a coup on the Capitol, despite him inciting racial violence on the regular during the BLM protests, AND actively undermining COVID-19 control.

            Not exactly a good example of “censoring” the kind of people that really should be censored.

            It literally isn’t. E.g. Parler had more aggressive censorship than Twitter. And what I mean by “cool” is “uncool”: this is a stupid, bad idea.

              Yeah, that’s a fair point on the Parler part.

              Now THAT was a very…strange and bad website.

    the major social media sites should be declared public so that 1st amendment rights apply. the idea that if it’s a private company it can do whatever it wants seems to go against the spirit of the 1st amendment purpose (in the us…)

    trump is a dick face but he shouldn’t have been censored.
