Twitter is not purely a US forum. In some places the law may say that "hate speech" is illegal, or that politically dissident speech is illegal... what then? Are you presuming that US jurisprudence should be the standard for all of humanity, worldwide?
- oceanplexian 4y agoTwitter is an US company so yes, it should espouse US values. If it were up to me, I wouldn’t operate Twitter in countries that don’t respect the human rights of their citizens, the same as we are supposedly doing in Russia.

- nradov 4y agoYes ideally all of humanity worldwide should adopt US standards on free speech. But in the meantime, Twitter and other online services can apply country specific blocks to individual pieces of user generated content.
- raxxorraxor 4y agoMy country has it and I hope it is ignored. I don't want to subject the rest of the world to such a narrow view of allowed conduct. Prosecution is opportunistic here which simply allows for abuse left and right without much safeguards. It is sold as a safety feature but it is just bad or in the worst case even malicious. Not at all against the US setting the standard here for once.
