Yes, I very much would like to live in a world where people are not treated unfairly because of perfectly LEGAL speech they made on a random topic, while doing it on what's essentially a public square of the 2021.
- _zn02 5y agoSee, that statement makes me think you haven't fully considered the ramifications of this decision. If a dude wearing full Hugo Boss Nazi regalia walks into my private establishment, I should not have to serve him, and I refuse to respect the idea of serving him. You can argue that Twitter is different because it's bigger, but if there's only one bar in town I don't see a substantial different between these two acts; I just don't see the size of Twitter as especially important to this. What I'm saying here mostly is- I really don't think you want to add "political belief or opinion" as a protected class. That means not being able to fire someone for expressing racist opinions, that means not being able to ban gang colors from a club, it really has a very far reaching effect. What you probably want to do is socialize Twitter. Same effect (they are treated as a public entity, and can only punish you for illegal content) but without a bunch of insane restrictions on my own personal Freedom of Association (you remember that part of the Bill of Right, not just the Freedom of Speech parts, right?)
