Yes, read the transcript. Don't watch the video which clearly shows the true anger and sentiment behind the speech. It's not what you say, it's how you say it.

Yes, read the transcript. Don't watch the video which clearly shows the true anger and sentiment behind the speech. It's not what you say, it's how you say it. "Hey guys, there's a fire", said in a dull sarcastic tone is not the same as screaming it at the top of your lungs with a frightened look on your face. But yes, encourage people to read the transcript and not watch the video with their own eyes.

Doesn't it feel like the fact that it is debatable and not at all clear-cut mean that we should err on the side of free speech. And if we imagined the government doing such a thing and taking it to the Supreme Court, can you really imagine them coming to the conclusion that it was incitement to violence - having them consider all the legal precedent also. Companies can do what they like. People can say what they like. Is it good for society. I don't think so. And does the tech world stand for free speech - it can no longer be said. But students of history will clearly see the precedent that is developing although we are certainly breaking new ground.

> Yes, read the transcript. Don't watch the video which clearly shows the true anger and sentiment behind the speech. I suggested watching the video as a primary option with reading the transcript as the fallback. > It's not what you say, it's how you say it. No it’s what you say. Because how you say it is so open to interpretation that anything could be construed as anything. Twitter’s final ban of Trump’s account said that him suggesting he’s not attending the inauguration was an invitation for violence. That’s ridiculous. > "Hey guys, there's a fire", said in a dull sarcastic tone is not the same as screaming it at the top of your lungs with a frightened look on your face. You’re describing how the majority of the media covers anything about Trump. Just because they’re screaming and jumping up and down does not mean they’re correct. > But yes, encourage people to read the transcript and not watch the video with their own eyes. Again, your Trump rage is literally blinding you from seeing that I suggested people watch the video.
