The comment wasn’t about the legality or customer satisfaction with the move. It was highlighting the complete and utter hypocrisy in causes people argue for.

The comment wasn’t about the legality or customer satisfaction with the move. It was highlighting the complete and utter hypocrisy in causes people argue for. It highlights how people care more for their side winning, rather than the principle itself.

Where exactly is the hypocrisy?? I don't see any in the linked twitter post. It is exhausting to see all these attacks against hypothetical and hypocrit straw men. "people argue this" and "people care about that", with no concrete examples for meaningful discussion

  You know exactly what I’m talking about. Which means you’re arguing in bad faith. You’re telling me you are unfamiliar with people arguing that private companies can do as they please when somebody they don’t like gets canceled, then decry free speech restrictions when their side gets the axe? You seriously want references? Go on twitter.

    >You seriously want references? Go on twitter. That's my point. If I go on twitter, I can find people arguing every conceivable combination of arguments. I'm sure many are hypocritical. In this context, neither the twitter post or the replies I saw were calling for government intervention. I just think it is a bizarre social phenomenon to criticize and in this case find schadenfreude in a hypothetical reaction. It is the political equivalent of shouting out into the night because you know some is out there, and laughing that you scared them off. "Im sure someone out has this hypocritical take, and boy do they look stupid"

      Except it isn’t hypothetical, it is so common it’s a meme.

        Everything is a meme and common on the internet, depending on your bubble That's why it is important to be clear on what idea you criticizing, opposed to just "those people"

        I was very clear on what I was speaking against. Not wasting my time providing sources for an exceedingly common phenomenon is not a failing on my part. That was by design. Let the person who is unfamiliar do the research if needed.
