Myself included. the old quote was "religion is the opiate of the masses" but today I think it has changed to "social media is the opiate of the masses." 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His plan is that all legal speech should be allowed. I got bad news for you, people suck, and legal is not a synonym with appropriate. Let's use an example here. Say I called one of our black posters something highly inappropriate, suggest hanging every jew on earth or say homosexuals should be taken out back and shot. Titan or Tex would boot my ass out the door before I could blink because that's literally their jobs as moderators of the forum. But that speech is legal, and would be allowed in Musk's version of Twitter. Users aren't going to hang around a cesspit. Tricky thing about “legal” is that Twitter is a global platform. Legal where? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They knew the rule (as they've violated it before). Plus it was suspension, not a ban. This is how the old twitter protected the left’s agenda. Now it should not be protected. That’s the point.

So no cite then? Also, the public forum doctrine applying to private online forums is the biggest crock of crap I have ever heard spewed by right wing legal "experts". The only time the public forum doctrine applies to private internet forums is for the public accounts of government officials/politicians and all it states is that they cannot block citizens of the US based on their viewpoints Edited October 28, 2022 by Didba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're revealing your inner statist. You want a public forum, petition your government to operate one. Forcing a private company to host content they don't want violating their free speech. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
