Progressives: "If you do not like the rules, start and run your own tech company."

Elon Musk: Buys Twitter

Progressives: "No, not like that."



Ah, true to progressives, the author brings race and gender into a conversation of which it does not exist...

From the article, quoting the 'Time' article:
Quote:

She elaborated, "The right to say what you want without being imprisoned is not the same as the right to broadcast disinformation to millions of people on a corporate platform. This nuance seems to be lost on some techno-wizards who see any restriction as the enemy of innovation."
Yes it is! It absolutely is! The lack of logic, here, is amazing...

And, who decides what is "disinformation", Ms. Alter? I believe that is for the general public to decide...

These people are frightening! And, any politician that shares her beliefs needs to be voted out of office!

Well the problem with disinformation is trying to figure out what is or isn't disinformation. One person can think something is, and the next thinks it isn't.

Considering that this is mostly a liberal thing, they must think their constituents are pretty damn dumb if they can't figure it out on their own without the help of a corrupt biased government.

Even if it was mostly straight, white males....

What's the problem with that?

Is there any particular reason that straight, white men shouldn't have free speech?

I for one welcome all of the accusations of racism and sexism being made.

It exposes just how purile these arguments are to a very very large and diverse group of Elon Musk followers on platforms like twitter. Might just wake up a few million as to how they are controlled with BS emotional narratives like that.

As part of a criminal class of elite journalists herself, she’d certainly know elite when she sees it.

Just like all the other cries of RACISM from the demented left; it is nothing but PROJECTION of their CORE beliefs!

Is there no bottom to the pool of leftist moonbats?

However, I do appreciate them exposing their lunacy so they can be ridiculed and avoided.

Meh. The twitter purchase is being overblown by both parties, largely as a result of a disgraced former President posting his nonsense there. Political discourse will compensate for the change and this trivial communication platform may even improve.

It's funny watching various mental lightweight leftists trying to sling around racism and sexism like children hurling insults on a playground.

It's funny because then we get to see Musk absolutely savage them on Twitter.

He absolutely *wrecked* Elizabeth Warren and the body count continues to grow lol.

A twitter feud with Musk is going to end very very badly for you.
