Man, the comments on this thread on twitter are awful. People are actually upset that Twitter didn’t remove this tweet or ban Elon’s account.
What is the world coming to that people are so afraid of opinions that they don’t agree with?
- James_Henry 6y agoI think I can understand a bit why people are afraid of this type of content. First note that this video is more than just "opinions that they don't agree with" as the doctors are claiming and framing as fact some blatantly false ideas (like their statistical nonsense where they extrapolate their testing data to get a .03 IFR). Now note that a lot of people are using this video to justify their desire to not social distance. I know older at-risk people who are using this video to try and convince other older at-risk people to stop social distancing. What if some of those at-risk people were people you cared about? Then you might be afraid about these opinions. Whether the answer is calling on Twitter and Youtube to curate people's tweets and videos, I'm not sure (and I want to believe the answer is no, but I'm very much not sure that it is).
