Could you please not propagate fake news? There is high enough signal-to-noise ratio already on the internet.

Didn't they get credit agencies to rank them as premium and not junk though? I think that we know they were junk after the fact.

That these cannot be done by businesses is just an assertion, re-enforcing the status quo. "The Machinery of Freedom"[0] is a book describing how a lot of these could work. I'm not yet sold that they would , but I'm n

No I have, but a lot of people - probably including you - take authorities and their budget committees at face-value when they report where they spend tax money.

No, taxes is the price I pay for bureaucrats and politicians to not starve. It's a kind of charity. All these services can be provided by businesses, and I can pay for them on a per-need basis.

Those people you mention, as far as I understand you are identifying what we call the 'Intelligentsia'. They are the ideological siblings of the Fascists, so no wonder they have the same / very similar approach.

You juxtaposed the censorship with rational actors that are collectively taking action to protect themselves. I'm juxtaposing with irrational actors that are collectively taking action due to superstition and fear. My point therefore i

People keep conflating the 1st Amendment with the ideal of free speech. It doesn’t make it moral to suppress people’s speech because you’re legally not on the hook for it.

So was it ok for the Nazis to beat people up before they were elected into power?

Sure, but Twitter cares about you.

Exactly, why do we keep absolving people from their personal decisions, expecting society to take the hit from the personal risks they take is beyond me. Like nobody wants to plan for their best-case scenario not materialising and when it d

No idea who that person is, why they're important and how this proves that Twitter became more toxic in just two weeks of Musk compared to 20 years of the previous management. Care to enlighten me?

Who are these people?

You see, before Putin they were drowning in dough.

by bilvar 4y ago
When you arrive at the point that you need to draw parallels between Putin and Musk, you seriously need to stop watching the news.

It's been barely a week he's at the helm and you came to that conclusion? I'm indifferent about Musk, but that's absurd.

At some point I think there was a trending hashtag on Twitter #killallmen - a direct call to commit violence of the worst kind on a demographic. Did the previous ownership take it seriously? What was their response? Did they just dismiss it
