- ryanSrich 6y agoI’m for all speech. Regardless if I agree with it or not. I would rather debate ideas I disagree with rather than they fester underground. “violent inciting free speech” is a subject take on Trump’s tweets whether you like it or not. I’d rather make that distinction for myself instead of relying on the judgment of some Twitter employee I’ve never met.
- piyush_soni 6y agoYes, I can make my own judgements from the tweets, so don't need some Twitter employee to tell me the same. I think he should have been banned a lot sooner.
- ryanSrich 6y agoCool, and you're free to block any account you want. Twitter even provides multiple ways to avoid seeing an account. So the issue was already solved. No need to further censor ideas. Individuals can make their own decision.
- piyush_soni 6y agoI will block his account, but his followers will not, that's precisely the problem, and the whole point. They will commit violence and vandalize public property instead.
- ryanSrich 6y agoSo your goal then is to memory hole any account that could lead to anyone using it as justification for violence? You sound like middle-aged moms in the 90s that blamed violent video games and metal music for school shootings.
- piyush_soni 6y ago> So your goal then is to memory hole any account that could lead to anyone using it as justification for violence Yes, but only if he/she has massive following that can actually incite "mob violence". With great power, comes great responsibility, while Trump is a kid who has been blaming everyone else for his defeat.
