RIP Twitter

[midnight orange]

Then when people refer to them in other debates, it should be viewed as pretty much meaningless?

It should be viewed pretty much like anything else. One pov in a multitude of opinions.

That a centralized government was absolutely essential and that natural rights had to be taken within the context of the common good.

I love it when you speak in broad , sweeping generalizations, to avoid having to answer what you already know . He was in favor of a SMALL , FRUGAL , centralized government for foreign affairs mainly and was STRONGLY opposed to Hamilton and the federalists because he feared that a large centralized government would take away the states/ peoples rights and power . Heres a peek into his thoughts …


Edit : I could see you and Hamilton being buds and trying to come up with a plan to increase the size of the government over a pint of ale , but you and Jefferson would have NEVER been besties .

It's hilarious how many people were praising them for sensoring, and now they're mad their views are going to get censored

Not sure their views will be censored, more like their views will no longer be exclusive.

You know you have a point. This happened under Joe Biden too.

Press Briefing by Press Secretary Jen Psaki, April 25, 2022 | The White House

What I can tell you as a general matter: No matter who owns or runs Twitter, the President has long been concerned about the power of large social media platforms, what they ha- — the power they have over our everyday lives; has long argued that tech platforms must be held accountable for the harms they cause. He has been a strong supporter of fundamental reforms to achieve that goal, including reforms to Section 230, enacting antitrust reforms, requiring more transparency, and more.

Note: No mention of Google, Facebook, YouTube, etc.

 

[Grand Vol]

I always laugh when people bet against Musk making money.

 

[BreatheUT]

Barack Obama said social media is 'turbocharging some of humanity's worst impulses' and called for reform to Section 230



Ugh…. One of the most dangerous ideals in the history of man

Have you checked with Luther on his thoughts?

Edit: Nevermind. I already see he's on it. The greater good is his speciality. So is collectivism.

Those 6 books that Dr. Seuss Enterprises pulled from circulation are his most obscure works, which most people had probably never heard of before this was announced. This wasn't the result of some outside pressure. They did it to themselves. That's not cancel culture.

uh huh.

I agree with everything Obama said in the linked article.
Is there a part with which you disagree.

“Thomas Jefferson was too stupid to understand Jimmy Carter’s greatness” - Luther probably

Don’t you think it’s a bit hypocritical coming from the man know as “ The first social media president “

Not in the least.
Is there something he said that you or anybody else disagrees with?

So nothing with which you disagree?

The hypocrisy is using this horrible thing that needs more government oversight when it’s advantageous to your political agenda , then when you are termed out you suddenly become aware of its shortcomings and want to “ fix it “ . He’s well known for his hypocrisy though ( how long did he spend bashing wall street fat cats then run to them for paid speaking engagements) so I’m not surprised at all .

When "family values" people express concern over what is on radio or television they are told to turn it off or change the channel. When they are concerned over movies and pornography they are told to not buy.

When liberal politicians are concerned about free speech contained in a private company, we must hold that company accountable. We must reform. There must be transparency.

I say if Biden doesn't like it, he can delete the app.

Social media has changed just a tad since 2008. I see no hypocrisy whatsoever in his positions then and now.

$10 bucks says he can't open a cereal box.

There have always been regulations about what is on radio and television.

 

[McDad]

It would be a shame to see Twitter overrun by conspiracy theorists like Reddit was in 2018 by the Q Anon nuts. Twitter was a better platform than that for a long time. I don't see how it's avoidable now. It's pretty clear that it's not going to be moderated anymore and will become a free-for-all.

There's a simple solution. Delete it.

 

[McDad]

the irony is that the people complaining most loudly about how we need protection from "misinformation" are spreading misinformation when they claim Musk intends to have no rules and no moderation on Twitter.

The last people on planet earth we should listen to express concern over misinformation are politicians. Their whole career is misinformation.

 

[midnight orange]

There have always been regulations about what is on radio and television.

That’s why streaming services and podcasts are rapidly overtaking legacy mediums.

Was that the last time ( 2008) he used the thing he himself helped promote and evolve into this monster that NOW needs more government regulation? He’s a hypocrite
