He’s another danger to democracy according to Democrats. What and who ISN’T a danger or threat to democracy at this point if you don’t agree with them? They’re always overreaching for the emotional pull because they know their base is largely emotionally vulnerable and will parrot whatever they’re saying. It’s getting and has gotten old!I may just buy a Tesla. He may have single handily reinstated free speech

LOL, neither do these unhinged liberalsI don’t think you understand the concept of free speech.
Free speech is the ability to express yourself without fear of government control or punishment. That's it. Not whether the Duck Guy gets to have his TV show, and not whether people can post garbage on Twitter. Those are businesses choosing the content it wants on it's platform. Saying that Musk "made free speech great again" just makes it sound like you don't know what you are talking about.LOL, neither do these unhinged liberals

'The Gates of Hell Opened:' Leftists Throw Epic Meltdown over Elon Musk Buying Twitter
Left-wing Twitter users had a collective meltdown on Thursday and Friday after Tesla CEO Elon Musk officially completed his takeover of the social media platform and promptly fired top left-wing executives at the company.www.breitbart.com
But the government got involved with who had a voice on Twitter and who didn’t. See Biden administration, Dr. Tony Fauci and the Alex Berenson situation, for example.Free speech is the ability to express yourself without fear of government control or punishment. That's it.

FWIW, I couldn't care less if Elon Musk buys Twitter. There are plenty of places to read stupid and false things on the internet, one more isn't going to change anything.
Pat pat pat
oh yeah…ligma.
Urban Dictionary: LIGMA
LIGMA is part of the BOFA spectrum of conditions. LIGMA (Loose Internal Gene Mi-Asintits) is the second stage of BOFA (Biologically Offset Farkwonian Asintits). In this stage, the disease interferes with the immune system and increases the risk of developing common infections such as...www.urbandictionary.com
He got banned on Twitter for violating their policies. That's a choice that Twitter made.But the government got involved with who had a voice on Twitter and who didn’t. See Biden administration, Dr. Tony Fauci and the Alex Berenson situation, for example.
When, as the most powerful social media platform on earth, you choose to censor political speech based on political policy, you are limiting free speech. It's interesting when you look at the "fact checking" on Facebook that was proven to be opinion, not fact.Free speech is the ability to express yourself without fear of government control or punishment.

What policy did he violate exactly, I wonder? It seemed that the biggest “policy” he violated was sharing real data about Covid and the vaccine that made the Biden administration and Dr. Tony Fauci uncomfortable. I think I read somewhere that he won his lawsuit against Twitter. Good for him! The government shouldn’t be banning people from having a voice but Twitter did the government’s bidding for them in that instance.He got banned on Twitter for violating their policies. That's a choice that Twitter made.
If the government "got involved", why does he still have Facebook, Instagram, books available on Audible and Amazon, interviews available on Fox News, speeches and interviews available on Youtube... worst censorship job ever.
Always the victimWhen, as the most powerful social media platform on earth, you choose to censor political speech based on political policy, you are limiting free speech. It's interesting when you look at the "fact checking" on Facebook that was proven to be opinion, not fact.
He’s right, though. Mind explaining how he’s wrong?Always the victim
It’s already been explained to him, tears.He’s right, though. Mind explaining how he’s wrong?
Tears? I’m not crying or doing anything close to that. Is he wrong and did you support a presidential administration working in unison with big tech to silence its opposition?It’s already been explained to him, tears.
No. If you create a media platform, you have complete control over what you allow on that platform. THAT is free speech.When, as the most powerful social media platform on earth, you choose to censor political speech based on political policy, you are limiting free speech.

This goes against their victim mentality so unfortunately it will never sink in that this is exactly how free speech and capitalism etc works.No. If you create a media platform, you have complete control over what you allow on that platform. THAT is free speech.
I have the right to say whatever I want without government restraint. But that does not give me the right to force other people to amplify my message.
You’re still avoiding the entire subject of the government silencing people through that media platform because those people were posting uncomfortable truths that made the administration look bad. What was wrong with amplifying real data? Using the Berenson example here. I’ll just assume the truth doesn’t matter to you.No. If you create a media platform, you have complete control over what you allow on that platform. THAT is free speech.

Too complicated of a question for a simpleton like you, @PurdueFan1? It’s like you’re keeping a log of who posts what in here while hunting people down to condemn things. Are you a moderator or is your life just that empty and sad?Tears? I’m not crying or doing anything close to that. Is he wrong and did you support a presidential administration working in unison with big tech to silence its opposition?
If Twitter wanted to keep him on their platform, that was their decision. They chose not to.You’re still avoiding the entire subject of the government silencing people through that media platform because those people were posting uncomfortable truths that made the administration look bad.

I can’t believe Republicans would treat business owners this way. Aren’t these our job creators?This goes against their victim mentality so unfortunately it will never sink in that this is exactly how free speech and capitalism etc works.

The only victim I've ever seen is you and your incessant whining about Republicans...Always the victim
He also seems to be struggling to understand that the govt influencing or pressuring tech platforms to censor certain speech is also contrary to free speech. Hell, Zuckerberg even admitted on JRE that the FBI and Biden Admin contacted Facebook about censoring certain stories/material that turned out to be true and influenced the 2020 election. I know the hacks like to ignore facts, but ignoring them doesn’t change themI understand the principle of the First Amendment when it comes to government overreach. And I understand what it means to actually have complete control over your own platform and the ability to legally ban certain individuals. The point you seem to be missing is that this "platform" is an actual extension of free speech. So censoring it is akin to NBC deciding never to air certain White House press conferences that deal with a specific topic they don't like or disagree with. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

Sigh, just more sad deflection by you. Sad.The only victim I've ever seen is you and your incessant whining about Republicans...
That is not what happened with the FBI and Facebook. If you’re going to refer to the interaction get the facts straight.He also seems to be struggling to understand that the govt influencing or pressuring tech platforms to censor certain speech is also contrary to free speech.

What the hell are you talking about Bob? I listened to the podcast and heard every word that came out of Zuckerberg’s mouth. He said the FBI contacted Facebook and told him to watch out for Russian disinformation right before the Hunter Biden laptop story was coming out from the New York post. That in conjunction with the 50 intelligence officials/former officials that also called it disinformation, WTF do you think they were referring to? Zuckerberg even said on the podcast that although the FBI didn’t name it specifically, it was more or less implied.That is not what happened with the FBI and Facebook. If you’re going to refer to the interaction get the facts straight.
was that by Hunter Biden or someone else. Hunter loves the N word. Uses it often.Can see why you guys are so excited about this.

I don’t understand how people can’t understand this. It’s a traded company. They can pretty much do as they please. You are free to speak whatever you want but you do have consequences for doing so. Also, it’s not going to be some changed platform just because he bought it. He will police it too.No. If you create a media platform, you have complete control over what you allow on that platform.

Are you a communist?Under capitalism you are supposed to make as much money as you can and do whatever you want with what you own.
Right, and apparently the government "threatened" Twitter into censorship, even though misleading information and conspiracies can be found all over the internet and don't get punished by the government.I don’t understand how people can’t understand this.
