Mike Masnick ✅Can anyone explain what happened to Marc? He used to not be this way. He actually used to have a pretty good understanding of content moderation and free speech issues. And now... this?
JauntyWunderKind@mmasnick i mean, i think the woke defense has been pretty on point. Musk is allowed to be a dillweeded git & do this. that's free speech; it's his site, and he frelling can throw himself, his reputation, his site on the bloody pyre if he wants to. it's his free speech right to do this. freedom baby, freedom!
it took me a while to process the suggestion at all, that he is implying the left would start being a bunch of sad sack babies like the pathetic long running shit-show the right as been asking for, where the government compels corporate speech by anyone who happens by & wants to post whatever.
as you RT'ed, there's a bunch of trumpist anti-woke laws that just got written headed to the Supreme Court that would/could block Musk. god forbid we allow these assaults, that the government prevent/obstruct sites from doing regulation/moderation as befits them, and compels state-based moderation/un-moderation.
