There are bad actors everywhere. But, as far as I can tell, there are very few bans of anyone on X, and no censorship or shadow-banning of any account. The community-notes section is available to everyone, so that misinformation can be ch

Again, I totally understand your objection, and you're right about the potential abuses that exist. The reason I said it is better now than before, is that the abuses under the previous ownership were not potential, they were real and

Actually, my opinions are not reliant on the results of such a test. Anything that X does which favors right-wing opinions, and censors or diminishes left-wing opinions, I oppose. I'm for free speech, and all of us being in the same p

There is a way to coexist, without it being a constant ideological battle all the time. If we can talk about the things we DO agree about, it makes it easier to talk about the things we don't. That's only possible if we're

That's a very dangerous idea that has been tried in communistic countries many times. It always leads to horrendous outcomes and the authoritarian control of the public. We should each follow our own moral compass, and oppose viewpoin

You might be right, I don't have the data to know. But it might just feel that way, because previously it was entirely left-wing political content that was being pushed.

I don't think the answer to the potential right-wing censorship, is left-wing censorship. Right now, X is actually closer to the ideal than any time in its history. But yeah, if there is a truly distributed system, that had facilities

Well, i'm in favor of pursuing the ideal, even though it will never be perfect in practice.

There's also a reason we don't create zoning laws based on political belief, forcing everyone to agree with us if they want to be our neighbor.

by ta8645 2y ago
Yes, I feel the same way. I'm in favor of self-controlled filters that let each of us decide what we want to consume, and when. Don't think that means you need to go into the echo-chamber permanently.

You're presenting a false dichotomy. Of course, there will be mistakes. And of course there needs to be moderation. But I support the moderation similar to HN, it's about politeness and respect. As long as you're respectfu

I'm still hoping that X wins. I'm hoping that we learn how to coexist with a diversity of viewpoints. It seems counterproductive to partition everyone up into their own little gardens, without any viable opposition to the domina

We're not discussing the case generally. We're asking if the assertion that he THREATENED anyone, holds water. So far, nobody has been able to provide any evidence, that he has. Whatever you think about the case, it should be de

Did he actually call for people to make threats or use violence? Did he even imply it? Do you apply the same standard to public figures who call Trump a fascist or a Nazi? Are they responsible for the person who shot him?

by ta8645 2y ago
With all that typing, you could have answered the actual question. As far as I know, there were no threats made by Alex Jones. If I'm wrong, I'd like to know.
168.
by ta8645 2y ago
Okay. But I think that undermines the argument the OP was making significantly.
169.
by ta8645 2y ago
Honest question: what threats did Jones make against them? I understood that he claimed it was a hoax/conspiracy, not that he had made any threats. Not even sure how he could make threats against people he didn't believe were r

It seems to be used by Youtube for comment censoring / shadow-banning.

You don't have a clue what you're talking about. You don't provide any evidence about their inability to disseminate the information, you just assert it as fact because you seem to support government overreach.

Sorry, yours is the poor take. If the government has the right to seize the bank accounts of Canadians, without due process, then the government also has the power to release any information they want. Just because they invent reasons to k

This seems like political theatre. Recently, Trudeau claimed that he has direct evidence against members of the opposition party engaged in "foreign interference" with China[1] There are also allegations by others that members of

I'd have to also buy a phone, and i'm not doing that for a single service. It's a ridiculous requirement, that people are far too willing to accept.

Still can't use their services. They still require a phone number for some reason. What about those of us who don't have one?
