Poll: get rid of the Tweet (X?) Deck on the side of the main page

I mean, they're definitely still doing that. Like, I understand the rest of your post but deleting posts Elon doesn't like is definitely happening right now.

 

lol "bots"

 

I think you have a different definition of censorship than I do and I think it's different from the definition in the dictionary. Massive responses to discredit an idea are not censorship (so "cancel culture" isn't censorship). Censorship is the suppression or prohibition of any parts of books, films, news, etc. that are considered obscene, politically unacceptable, or a threat to security.

So censorship is not criticism, you could call that propaganda or slander but it is not censorship. It is not a form of censorship in any way. Censorship by definition has to do with the removal of words or images. Commenting disparagingly about something and encouraging others to do the same is not the antithesis of freedom of speech it is actually the exercise of free speech. Free speech doesn't mean you get to say whatever you want and no one can say anything about that, quite the opposite. Even if this is done in a manufactured way it isn't hurting the right to free speech.

Making sure that everyone understands that this isn't a political conversation is important because it's a conversation about what goes on in forums such as this one. We all have agreed to be censored by the mods. We've all agreed to rules that actually censor us when we are personally attacking each other. So I think it's important to talk about what censorship is and what criticism is, which is just a natural part of free speech.

 

Agreed. The way that social media operates should not be considered political. This site is a social media platform.

I find limiting people's ability to spend as much time as they want surfing Twitter is censorship. Totally disregarding the fact that it's an OBVIOUS cash grab by giving people a ton more options if they pay a sub.

 

"The Gang Learns The Difference Between Political and Politicized"

 

Language modeling. If you google data scraping and completion of censorship deathstar around AI you will find the answers. They are looking for trending patterns in language and creating models to then censor with AI. Again, Davos/WEF is very open about this. I think most people simply aren't informed about what the wealthiest people are openly stating they are planning for the rest of us. These are the very same entities I was and continue to be adamantly opposed to. Via some very clever sleight of hand, the wealthiest people on Earth have highjacked causes I supported my whole life and use them as Trojan Horses to push their pro-centralization of wealth and power agenda.

Of course, Evil never states it wants to do Evil it always says it's to "protect the German people" or to "defeat the evil Americans threatening mother Russia". So one has to see who is saying something (The WEF is the wealthiest people on Earth, who have a rather poor track record) and reading between the lines:

"“By bringing human-curated, multi-language, off-platform intelligence into learning sets, AI will then be able to detect nuanced, novel abuses at scale, before they reach mainstream platforms. Supplementing this smarter automated detection with human expertise to review edge cases and identify false positives and negatives and then feeding those findings back into training sets will allow us to create AI with human intelligence baked in,"

This article is slanted and editorializes too much, but it's not wrong.

No, I'm talking about censorship where government asks big tech to censor articles and then big tech does. Cancel culture and deplatforming are faked grassroots efforts to deplatform people, but that's not what I'm talking about here. I mean we see that going both ways Bud Light and Milo Yiannopolous both got Cancel Cultured by opposing forces.

I'm talking about the article I'm linking below. I'm all for rigorous debate, but not hiding, or deleting alternative opinions, articles, and research which is what has been happening en masse. Again, I see that everyone is coming from a good place, but I believe they are not well informed.

Of course, Evil never states it wants to do Evil it always says it's to "protect the german people" or to "defeat the evil Americans threatening mother Russia".

The biggest issue/concern is when the government 'requests' that the social media company remove or limit certain people or content.
Musk exposed that was actively happening 2-3 year ago. I have to believe it is still occurring on some platforms.

 

1000%

Elon stands for freedom.

 

Robert Mapplethorpe says hi.

 

Ah OK well if you trust the richest people on Earth, despite being an avowed Communist I'm not sure what to tell you. Sure, everyone you disagree with are Nazis because the billionaire owned media tells you that. Don't you find it odd that suddenly your ideology is being spewed from the same forces that crushed the left for almost a century, namely the ultra wealthy? I guess not.

 

Yep that's a great example of the Right being pro-censorship. Turns out the left can do it to, but I get people who disagree with that are crackpot conspiracy theorists according to Barfo. Anyways all of these responses are predictable and sad. What I'm saying will come to a head quite soon and hopefully ya'll won't be cheering if your political enemies are treated like Unionists in Germany in the 1930's, because the framing of vaslty centralized power ironically calls everyone they disagree with Nazis while behaving like...well Germans in the late 1930's. Some see it and many, many don't and a sports forum isn't really the place for elevated political discussions so I will bow out. I thought perhaps pointing a few things out would open eyes. Pretty foolish on my part arrivederci and this time I am truly done with this thread.

 

If you tweet "women don't have dicks" and you are banned, that is censorship. And if people calling you nazi for that tweet it is not "criticism".

 

Weirdly specific. Almost as if you speak from experience...

(But of course calling you a Nazi is the essence of free speech.)

 

If you tweet “women don’t have dicks” and you are banned that’s two acts of free speech happening in chronological order by two private entities. You are not being censored. Freedom of speech is not freedom from consequences.
