Glenn greenwald: > I'd be genuinely happy if this were a transformative moment: where liberals who've spent years demanding online censorship now see its evils since it's directed at them and their friends. But of course it's not that: they're complaining because they think they should be exempt https://twitter.com/ggreenwald/status/1603768031867445249?s=20&t=PTGRbtoVd6jHIOIPP6q6yQ https://twitter.com/ggreenwald/status/1603768031867445249?s=... There's some people who want their righteous tribe to not be banned but ban everyone else they disagree with and can't conceive they might, one day, not have the power to do so (after all, every alternative to the narrative setters is bought or squashed early). Those of us who really defend free speech. Don't want any of these tribes to be banned but we find it funny how they're suddenly talking about free speecha and pretending the point is "hypocrisy" when the biggest inconsistency is wanting to ban everyone and using the "private company can do whatever they want" argument and then pretending that it's some sort of unthinkable travesty when they're at the end of the ideology they push. Hopefully this chaotic "battle" all leads to more descentralization and actual freedom of thought instead of some authoritarian group gaining power and trying to destroy, block, deplatform, intimidate, defund anyone who doesn't subscribe. In most forums nowadays we get a very pro censorship mainstream view that is very sad for those of us who valued the internet for the power of citizens to have an independent voice.
