I didn't watch the whole thing but I agree with Twitter's CEOs comments but more importantly why is this an issue Twitter is deciding? If the government of Russia is not recognized by the US or if Twitter should not obey certain Russian laws/orders or cease business there then the very functional and legitimate (sarcasm) democratically elected government of the US can declare sanctions to that effect. Whether you agree with putin or not Russia is in a state of war and you are expecting twitter to not censor things?? Do you think the US government does not do the same thing or did everyone forget Snowden's leaks? So much half-baked hypocrisy around this whole sentiment.

In the context of multiple other statements by Mudge, the pattern is one of Twitter repeatedly expressing indifference to concerns, consequences, and summoning of political will and corporate capital to address any such concerns. Your focus seems preternaturally narrow and short. Much as that of Twitter's executive staff.

  I have desire to defend twitter exec's track record. Of course what I said is narrow because the subject is specific in this thread. I don't get how people like you insult your own intelligence by insinuating that for twitter's CEO to be correct on one matter means everything they do is acceptable. Is this an age and maturity thing? I can see how someone under early twenties can be this immature where either you hate twitter execs or you are completely in love with them. Be rational and reasonable, if you would like to disagree or counter any of my points feel free but I have no interest in paricipating in a "cancel" fight.

    I'm flattered by your presumption. It, as well as numerous previous assessments of yours, seem quite poorly formed based on my own experience and knowledge. I generally try to run adversarial assessment even on my own most cherished views or takes, as well as charitable interpretation of those of othsers. Both can lead to interesting places, much more so than the opposite strategies. More practices I recommend.
