yes, of course. if it's good for business then obviously censorship is totally fine.
on an unrelated note did someone drop an anvil on your head this morning?
Oh, so you’re on the side of people who say private companies choosing what goes on their platform is censorship?
afoaf is gonna be mad
So censorship is okay if it’s for the greater good of the business?
they did not "conspire"it was an accurate statement. i am using my words with absolute precision. like a surgeon weilding a scalpel.
by and large, Twitter wasn't compliant with the government's requests to curb disinformation
Berenson's lawsuit against Biden and Pfizer is still outstanding
it will be interesting to see how that shakes out
“The Cybertruck is a low polygon joke that only exists in the fever dreams of Tesla fans that stands high on the smell of Elon Musk’s flatulences
BS
The government always asks nicely, accepts refusals to comply gracefully, and never uses their power in retribution
you've made that argument before multiple timesBS
The government always asks nicely, accepts refusals to comply gracefully, and never uses their power in retribution
it's childish
the fact is that both trump and biden admins asked them to curb disinformation and Twitter complied only sporadically
there was no retribution
no one at twitter claimed that there were threats or implied retribution
there is no precedent that would make Twitter think that retribution was in the cards
Twitter in no way shape or form indicated they feared retribution in the emails released during discovery and/or during their testimony to congress
this is just more silly conspiracy theorizing to make up for a deficient initial claim
they did not conspire
Twitter, by and large, did not do what the government asked them to do
Berenson's court case proceeds against Biden and Pfizer....let's see what happens there
as it stands, the government asking large social platforms to assist in the dissemination of public health info and to curb counter-productive disinformation is neither surprising nor disappointing to me, given the facts of the case as they currently stand.

So pointing out something that our government has done time and time again is “childish”
K
That you know of
would they disclose that sort of thing in the quarterly report if it happened
it’s not a conspiracy if it’s happened before
Berenson was doing a public service by telling people exactly what to expect if they were to get vaccinated, so that they can then make an educated and informed decision, or at least know what to expect while being strong armed into a medical intervention with their livelihood being used as leverage.
The government shot itself in the foot by trying to control the narrative and dragging out restrictions and mandates long past their expiration date. Then they have the nerve to complain that people won’t take the next more severe pandemic seriously after they cried wolf for 2 years. Fookin psychopaths
For anyone curious about how these issues will all be decided, see today’s SCOTUS hearing summary. There is zero chance SCOTUS will rule against the Government, and that holding will apply to the linked matter as well.

what did the government do "time and time again", exactly?So pointing out something that our government has done time and time again is “childish”
so, you're concocting a conspiracy out of whole cloth AFTER the release of the twitter files and the congressional testimony
that's rational
it was not indicated anywhere in the docs and the twitter execs testified under oath before congresswould they disclose that sort of thing in the quarterly report if it happened
if they were being strongarmed, it would have been in their best interests to indicate that
at the time of their testimony, they were being sued over this very matter and would have had a vested interest in pointing out any attempts at coercion by the government.
you said:
The government always asks nicely, accepts refusals to comply gracefully, and never uses their power in retribution
you've also said they have done this "time and time again"
feel free to substantiate that. I'm keen to hear your examples since you claim they are myriad.
thanks for the editorial
we'll see where the courts land on this
as it stands, Twitter can kick people off the platform at their discretion
it matters naught.
