What free speech people fail to understand is...

When the platform becomes a public forum, deciding what speech is acceptable is wrong. I’m amazed people don’t understand such a simple concept.

I would never go to [i]your[/i] home. I would never say anything about YOUR family, because that space belongs to you and yours.

Social media belongs to whomever runs the platform, and those are the people who set the rules. Big boots stomping all over social media are something of which we are ALL sick and tired. And so far, in the United States, the BIGGEST stompers are the Democrat party and the FBI.

After reading all the hatred you have for Elon Musk, I assume that you are either a former Twitter employee, OR you've been kicked off the site. No one else gets their panties in a twist as you are doing.

In the US at least, free speech is a right, not a privilege. Yes...there may be consequences for what you say, but you still have the right to say it, plain and simple. Anyone telling you otherwise is on a slippery slope. Dictating terms in a privately owned forum is a different animal, but once that private entity starts receiving govt funding, all bets are off.

Facebook and Twitter need to give up their platform protections if they want to act as publishers and censor people. They shouldn't get to have their cake and eat it too. They get to have their cake and eat it too because they're in bed with the government which means they're not truly private. The government outsources their censorship to their Big Tech friends and then NPCs think violating free speech is okay because the government's business partners are doing it for them. Free speech is one of the most important and basic rights and people shouldn't tolerate censorship. What's the point of block features if people are going to be babies and cry for censorship? Also, free speech on 4chan is a myth because 4chan censors people too, unfortunately.

So, you can be offended by whatever you want, but not everywhere?
If speech should be limited, then your ability to take offense should be limited as well. No more blocking streets and attacking people for offenses that you never PERSONALLY suffered.

I actually wish it was the simple... One, I don't kick people out much. Second, I'm not sure if we have lived in a society where corporations, looking at a bottom line, are the baseline to outline what recommended speech is. Too many convuluted interests whereas individuals we have given up freedom of expression, thought - which is beautiful in itself. Maybe I'm rendering myself as a conspiracy theorist to you, but however you view my comment is really of no concern to me.

Yes and I’m not saying it’s “rightl or fair but Twitter did the same thing it’s doing now just opposite when it was ran by a different group of people

That group is just now being affected by the “censorship” And making it very known

@DeluxedEdition right, but why is it ok 'say whatever you want on 4chan or apparently here too' as she says, but not on twitter? what makes this site and 4chan different?

so, what's the difference between 4 chan, similar worlds, and twitter?

A very intellectual view! Well stated.

It is not as simple as that.

Mmmmm censorship

I believe free speech is ok.
But only if it escalates violence or incites riots then it is not.
