    Free speech is a cornerstone of democracy. Hate speech, lies, misinformation, incitement to violence, racism etc online should be subject to same laws that protect us from slander, deformation, libel and attack.

    What one person finds offensive, another person finds acceptable.

    Inciting to violence should be illegal. Everything else.. you have a block button.

    (no one is arguing that slander/defamation/libel should be legalised btw.)

    You can’t dismiss what I’m saying. All of it has been proven. Even in court. Government agencies were directly involved in censoring right-wing voices across multiple social and legacy media platforms.

    Even Center-right voices were being completely shadow banned and not allowed to grow.

    Listen. Elon musk is smart. Objectively. Yet he thought it was bad enough that he spend 44 BILLION DOLLARS to fix it.

    And you want to pretend it never happened?

    No, it isn’t. Tolerance and respect for others is the foundation of a decent society, not the freedom to be deliberately offensive.

    And the freedom to broadcast utter untruths and misinformation without check is a questionable benefit to society as well.

    This simply isn’t true. Go look at the academic (non political) papers on this. They show people git banned from Twitter for breaking rules and not their political allegiance.

    Hmm… why would mega rich men want to control the means of communication? You are so brainwashed…

    "Derbyshire county council’s Reform UK group leader Philip Rose, ousted from the Tories for antisemitic posts, now faces nearly £4,000 in unpaid council tax.
    He is also chair of Riddings Park community centre which specialises in hosting figures like Andrew Bridgen, Katie Hopkins and speakers on topics such as the dangers of vaccines, 5G and the World Economic Forum, as well as how to avoid council tax (!), and Magna Carta rights.
    PLUS news from the Rotten Boroughs of Wiltshire, Havering, Sutton, Newham, Essex and Cambridgeshire in the new Eye."

    You literally can’t hold or form an opinion yourself can you <laugh><laugh> I don’t need to look up some papers. I saw it all unfold. You would get banned from YouTube and shadow banned from Google searches just for including the word “vaccine” in your podcast.

    You are an NPC. It’s hilarious. Just keep doing what daddy government tells you and paying your extortionate taxes

    These are just pathetic lies. You can disprove them just be looking at posts from 2020. There are podcasts and posts with vaccine in them all over the platform. You are so, so lost in your weird confirmation bias.

    It's beyond me that a self proclaimed intellectual superpower posts such easily debunked nonsense. To keep parroting the same lies and disinformation and expect anyone to believe them is deluded if not deranged behaviour. A suitable case for treatment.

    Ok so one of the smartest men in the world spent 44 billion dollars for no reason, then <laugh><laugh>

    You’re an idiot. Truly an idiot. There is no helping you.

    I think your low Iq keeps you in some sort of mental box. You need to be told what to think by the TV otherwise you malfunction

    The democrats need to give up on the idea of a woman president for the near future. Bubba and his high testosterone levels will not vote for her. They love macho bullies unfortunately.
