Sure. No one is arguing you shouldn't be able to ridicule someone online (I guess it depends on who you're ridiculing right?). But I don't think you should get banned from the platform for doing so. That's the problem people have with Twitter. Especially since its very inconsistently applied and very out of touch with what the overwhelming majority of the country believes.
There's also a cultural aspect that can't really be solved by Twitter, like petitioning someone to be fired for making a gay joke ten years ago.
- TameAntelope 5y agoTwitter agrees! You are not banned from that platform for ridiculing anyone.
- bko 5y agoTwitter suspended someone for saying "Ok dude..." [0] https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/ok-dude-twitter-suspends-rapper-zuby-for-hateful-tweet-at-transgender-antifa-activist https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/ok-dude-twitter-susp...
- TameAntelope 5y ago@ZubyMusic tweeted 44 minutes ago, so no he was not banned.
- stjohnswarts 5y agoI guess that the "appeal" was ruled reasonable and zuby made it back? Of course Washington Examiner will never follow up on the matter as they're well known, like Fox, to print front page knee jerks and way-back-page retractions.

- tekknik 5y agoSure, but it doesn’t change what I wrote. In fact your non-peer reviewed site had this to say about CNN: “ CNN typically utilizes loaded emotional words in sensational headlines such as this: Trump pounces on Justice Department report findings.” https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/left/cnn-bias/ https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/left/cnn-bias/ So are we gonna be biased or call every guilty party out?

- tekknik 5y agoOr just disproving your statement. Depending on your mental capacity. Or was your statement made such that only the right wing makes such headlines? Or are you russian and just trying to sow division? Which is it? Also you still didn’t change what I said, just avoided it by trying to claim “whataboutism”. Fight it all you want, it’s not going to change the truth.
- TameAntelope 5y agoWhich statement does, "What about CNN?" disprove?
- stjohnswarts 5y agoDon't the owners of twitter get some say? If you can't keep your argument with some nazi p.o.s. dialed down to an 8, why should they have to host either of you? I mean they own the platform, you and the nazi can take it to DMs on some other platform.
