Twitter Will Engage in Extensive Political Censorship

What the hell? Actually?
Let the stocks PLUMMET!

This is how the Ministry of Love works

Twitter can screw off. Bunch of thin-skinned pantywaists.

Almost like conservative speech has become synonymous with violent/threatening speech for some reason, and it'll soon be untenable for any social media site to continue hosting it.

@Scott_pilgrim If that were true, Jayro wouldn't have been suspended for the things he said. They're cracking down on all violent speech after the attack on the capitol, now that they've finally realized online rhetoric can lead to real world consequences. Enforcement of the rules should've been equally as stringent from the beginning, but it's better late than never.

Fair point, but what I meant was it won’t affect the majority of the platform

@Scott_pilgrim Imagine if this...online, digital pogrom...spreads to other sites like Facebook. Reddit's already infamous for overly-restrictive subReddit moderators, and for shutting down "offensive" subs.

And making Twitter even more closed and stuff, when it's as well-known and influential as it is - not having an opposing viewpoint - isn't healthy.

What with "critical race theory", the global misandristic witch-hunt known as #MeToo, and similar inherent racism and sexism...I've been hating modern society for a good few years now.
How long will it be before these are exposed as the massively problematic programs they are, and shut down? How long will it be before we don't have to fear for our jobs and reputations just because of our political opinions, or being male, or being white?

I despise modern society.

That’s a huge if tho

The right wing is full of hatred as of late, so as long as you're not spewing hatred, you've got nothing to worry about.

@AkiraKurusu whoah you've used a lot of words in your last comment instead of just saying "I'm a racist and misogynist and I don't like similar minded people getting called out for it. Also for some reason, women calling out their rapists and abusers is bad."

@MichiS97 More like "women being able to accuse men and be assured their male victims will have their reputations destroyed, jobs taken from them, relationships shattered, and lives destroyed without being able to defend themselves, and without needing evidence to back up the accusation, and can even post accusations anonymously yet expect the exact same impact".

You can't have the presumption of innocence with #MeToo; it's all about the disgusting nature of the crime overriding it and bringing in the presumption of guilt - a true witch-hunt.
If a woman is revealed to have falsely accused a man, is she punished? Practically never, and even if she is it's an extraordinarily-light punishment compared to what the man had and will continue to face; he, on the other hand, will have that stigma glued to him, even after it's proven to be wrong.

There's a reason why it's morally and ethically right to doubt accusations, to not support #MeToo and its hatred-filled fervour. It's not about "victim-shaming" or whatever; it's about protecting vulnerable, innocent men. It's far more sickening to convict an innocent than it is to let a guilty person roam free, after all.

Wow, somebody's got a fragile-ass ego...

Guess what? Your right-leaning asses promoted and performed a coup d'etat, you special snowflakes deserve to be jettisoned from every social network in existence to the motherfucking SUN

Agreed^

the voteflakes have ruined the internet

Very toxic, as much as I am 'left-leaning', belief systems should never be absolute and there always needs to be an opposing argument. This is literally the start of how you massively socially influence a large group of people into a single unified perspective

oh great, this blog's back

@Scott_pilgrim Don't blame me. I do still agree with everything I wrote above, but it wasn't me who, er, "necroed" this blog.

@Scott_pilgrim You could, just like, you know, not click on the blog link?

Gotta love the open hate on display here from the opposition to the OP's thoughts. The discourse that's on record here? This is why globalization will never truly work, and is a perfect display of a vocal minority's opinions on this site and their abject insanity when it comes to anything that isn't glorified toys.

Oh well. I guess those who post on Internet forums daily like this haven't changed at all in the last decade in terms of political views. Makes me wonder if there's a correlation that can be observed.
