    Default New CEO of Twitter said there should be less thinking on free speech




    Twitler co-founder Jack Dorsey announced today that he is stepping down, and Twitler’s new CEO Parag Agrawal said that Twitler should “focus less” on free speech during an interview with Technology Review.

    “Our role is not to be bound by the First Amendment. The kinds of things that we do about this is, focus less on thinking about free speech, but thinking about how the times have changed. One of the changes today that we see is speech is easy on the internet Most people can speak. Where our role is particularly emphasized is who can be heard.”



    Discuss.

    This kind of crap cannot be allowed to stand. But how can we stop it?

    “ Where our role is particularly emphasized is who can be heard.”

    Stalin, Hitler, Mao and xi totally agree.

    I gather that Jack could not/would not deal with the daily strain of becoming Evil.
    This illegal illegitimate regime that runs America is at fault...not me.... they do not represent me and I have long objected to their crimes against humanity.

    So it turns out that I have 18 people on my list of shortcuts, because I look at their Twitter feeds at least once a week, many everyday almost without fail. It is my primary way of tracking what is going on, the former journalists the Mind Molders have lost my interest.....Twitter and SubStack is where I go now.

    How many will be gone from Twitter in 6 months?

    I was struck that Tucker does not take in any corporate news, nor does he go online searching for what is going on.....his way of understanding the world is a network of about 250 people whom he trusts, or is working on trust with....they feed him mostly via text, though he does spend a lot of time in conversations with them as well.

    a private company deciding what they will allow to be posted and what they will not? you mean their rights? what if they banned a bunch of child molesters from talking about raping kids or sharing pics? they just look the other way? fuck you, stupid.

    They don't get to do this and keep their Section 430 protection, IMO.

    Sounds nice until you apply this reasoning to another "private company" huh? You have to be the most retarded fucking leftist cunt on a site full of retarded leftist cunts.
