MofromRo Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 (edited) David asked the question why it is that Elon Musk allowed free speech on Twitter. I suggest it is because of Truth Social, a right wing free speech platform and Trump's answer to Twitter, currently available in the States, but plans for worldwide asap. Already a big hit with users, it's likely it could bury Twitter if Musk failed to make the necessary changes. (Once again Musk showed his true colours by endorsing Kevin McCarthy as House Speaker).

monkeylove Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Allowing for some free speech but took over to fix the platform and minimize 'bots in order to decrease losses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnigmaticWorld Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 (edited) Twitter and TS are not free speech. Twitter might actually be more free than TS though, at least at the moment. Last time I checked, TS was just a Neocon and Israel circle jerk, not a place for dissident voices. Maybe TS is less of a limited hangout spot these days, I don't know.

TheConsultant Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 I enjoyed the part of McCarthys speech regarding Durham boats and George Washington. I cannot speak about twitter or TS as I am not on either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indigo solo Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 Musk allowed nothing. He said he would, that's it. The strategy is to gain media coverage by saying it. But all of us (at least here, I hope) know the free speech is the possibility to choose between two or three standard speeches. They tell people that's freedom and they obey. But if you realize a new speech, or the truth, you'll be banned. They won't tell you they banned you because you told the truth, but by racism, intolerance, antisemitism, being homophobic, denier, micro-machist, class B terrorist, micro-terrorist, toxic male, not safe for public health, anarchist, pervert, anti-feminist... add whatever you want to the list.
