Why was the tweet deleted?

@RuyLopez You're going by confirmation bias.

@LeopoldBloom You’ve got nothing.

@RuyLopez I'm going by the data. Inflation is worse in other countries. Biden has nothing to do with it.

@FreeSpirit1 It's not acting like a publisher when it moderates user's posts based on terms of service that users agreed to when they signed up. If the ToS are too restrictive for you, you can go somewhere else like Gab that only limits blatantly illegal content.

The mistake you're making is thinking that the users are the site's customers. The users are its product. The real customers are the advertisers who pay the bulk of the site's income. Twitter can't just run on user fees even if Musk thinks he can increase income by charging for the blue check mark or for premium service. Commercial advertisers won't want their ads running next to posts expressing "opinions" like the Holocaust never happened or Black people were better off as slaves. From a business standpoint, Musk has to figure out how to balance moderation on one hand to avoid pissing off the right wingers who think they should be able to say anything they want with no consequences, while not driving away advertisers who don't want to be associated with anything controversial.

@LeopoldBloom The NY Post asked Twitter where in the rules does it say a newspaper needs to have Twitter involved in the editorial process of it's work, Twitter never replied and just said it was a mistake, but the mistakes always seem to lean ideologically against one side of hot button issues.
If Musk says Twitter will no longer do that I don't see how anyone can complain

@FreeSpirit1 We'll see if Musk censors stories that are critical of Elon Musk.

If Twitter was favoring liberal issues, that balances Facebook which gives special consideration to conservative outlets.

@calicuz The staffer who wrote it said "President Nixon? Who's that?"

@FreeSpirit1 you remember ole tricky dicky🙂
