- simpleblend 4y agoHow about prominent Stanford and Harvard doctors disagreeing with the Covid polices of the CDC?

- simpleblend 4y agoHuh? Using the term whataboutism doesn't even make sense here. He asked me to list political speech that was censored, which I did. Dr. Jay Bhattacharya of Stanford and Dr. Martin Kulldorff of Harvard.
- seadan83 4y agoIf that disagreement were censored, would you know about it? Getting fired is not a 1st amendment violation. The 1st amendment only covers protection from the government (with a lot of gray ground for "disorderly conduct" laws, but I digress)
- simpleblend 4y agoFrancis Collins and Fauci specifically targeted those two doctors.
- tomohawk 4y agoThe NY Post was banned for breaking a story about revelations contained in a laptop computer abandoned by Hunter Biden. This was just prior to a national election. The FBI was involved in pushing this narrative through Twitter. The Babylon Bee is a satire site that was banned for doing satire. There are many many examples.
- g42gregory 4y agoI hope we remember that in the same time period, all mentioning of same story were declared misinformation here, on Hacker News, and posts were flagged, users banned. I wonder if there is any learnings here for the current/future reaction to the ongoing stories?
- favorited 4y agoThe Babylon Bee was not banned, the same way someone who tries to go into a store without shoes on isn't "banned." They just need to put on some shoes, then you're allowed in. The Babylon Bee was told that 1 Tweet violated Twitter's policy, and that they needed to delete it to unlock their account. They chose not to.

- Apocryphon 4y agoWhat values and principles did the Babylon Bee renounce and violate, exactly
- favorited 4y agolmao "Twitter made me delete a Tweet that violated their ToS if I want to keep using their platform" is equivalent to renouncing all of your principles and values??
