I see, so on the one hand banned journalists, but on the otherhand reinstated white nationalist accounts so, you know, net positive in your books?
Okay. Sure. Why not.
- SV_BubbleTime 3y agoNo journalists were banned. A few were suspended for a short time after Twitter say the broke written TOS. Be honest and clear.
- BaseballPhysics 3y agoFor a free speech purist that should be a distinction without a difference.
- smsm42 3y agoThey didn't ban journalists, and classifying people they reinstated as "white nationalists" without any further distinction is an extremely disingenuous take. Twitter restored tens of thousands of accounts, and the reasons for bans were extremely varied, so there's no way you could know every single one of those (62000 just at one reinstatement) are "white nationalists" and that's why they were reinstated. Among those restored were Kanye West, Jordan Peterson, satirical site "Babylon Bee", Kathy Griffin and tens of thousands of others. You are just throwing it out to smear them all because of political hate, because pre-Musk twitter mostly (though not only) banned people leaning to the right. Which makes me think your intent is not to understand what I said but to maliciously misinterpret it to accuse me of some political sin that appears heinous to you. I have little interest in that, goodbye.
