Elon cannot possibly be any worse than the current stooges who run Twitter. Those sorts literally pull new rules/terms/policies, no matter how absurd and indefensible, straight out of their own rear ends, whenever they have a vendetta against any Twitter user who's behaved strictly within platform rules and norms. This is one of the major reasons why people are so disgusted with the current, abusive, arrogant Twitter administration. It does not matter how well you've behaved on their platform, nor for how long you've proven yourself on the platform. If any one of these tiny, infantile tyrants dislikes anything about you (even if they're just a bigot, themselves), they make up new rules and policies on the fly, and sucker punch you with them. When they've decided to target and banish you, you get the peculiar experience of having your first ever "violation" abruptly lock down your account, with no first time temporary suspension, and absolute refusal to allow you to bring your account back into compliance, with whatever you allegedly "violated". You are completely denied normal protocol, which is afforded to first time "offenders". They also refuse to specify what rule/policy you "violated", so you cannot pin them down to anything specific, when discussing your situation in public. There are some true doozies, where it comes to Twitter policies and rules, which Twitter administration has invented. I know of at least one, which doesn't even exist to address an actual problem on the platform, but instead appears to exist for no other reason, than to use it as a weapon in banishing certain minorities from the platform. It's really disgusting stuff...Twitter admin should be ashamed of themselves. They have the worst integrity imaginable. Oh...Hate speech and bullying are rampant on Twitter. So long as it's aimed at minorities Twitter administration do not like, or find inconvenient to have around, they will host stuff that stridently violates TOS, rules and policies, while refusing to take action against it. Twitter admin, especially of the last few years, have been bottom of the barrel, hypocritical, bullying creeps. I speak from personal experience, as a left leaning, human rights liberal...What flies as "normal procedure" on Twitter today, is Wrong! Wrong! Wrong!...It's gutless injustice, meted out by faceless cowards, who attack and silence the people that are trying to do good in this world. I just hope this change opens the door, to my clearly assassinated account being restored to full functionality. If not, then we'll know that Elon is no free speech absolutist.
This is crazy, I am black and I am ok with racist having a voice, blacks having a voice, wife beaters having a voice and the wives that were beaten having a voice. The gays and the churches that hate them should have a voice too. Twitter is a private company. He can make what ever decision he wants to make and we the people choose to use the platform or not. If we want free speech we can not choose to only allow certain people to speak.

Free speech is limited and has been forever. Defamation of character is free speech but it could cost you dearly depending on whom you speak about. Free speech along with any law is a societal pact that certain things have consequences. Do you wish to allow pedophiles to freely speak about their fantasies about children? Come visit reality some time.
@@Nausicaa521 Exactly. I agree with you. I cannot stand Musk, he is a terrible human, but we're supposed to be above cheap shots at people's looks. I though that was the right who did that?

@@NNick12 If it's not illegal I don't see what the problem is. People disagree and disagree all the time. If you're seeking a place where everyone agrees with you my assumption is, based on what Musk has said, Twitter is not going to be that place.
I hear a lot of caution and insults regarding Musk but no actual, specific examples of WHY. I'm not a fan of Musk or any billionaire, frankly I see m no point in their existence. But all I see here is a one sided, non-specific attempt at fear mongering.
This segment was deeply lacking and the force of argument for more censorship was weak at best. All this will empower the corporate state to silence dissenting voices in the name of protecting “marginalized communities” and “harm reduction”.
These things are "abusive": Parents hurting their children Partners hurting their spouses/husbands Caretakers hurting their wards Trolls online are not abusive. They may be annoying but you don't have to engage with them. That is 100% your choice.
Because people refuse to take responsibility for their own response to things. It is a choice. Hearing ideas, opinion, etc, that you disagree with can be approached in two ways. One, that you may gain a different perspective on something even if you disagree.. this IMO is healthier.. or Two, that you will be offended and want this perspective removed so that others cannot hear or listen to it. If you can't see the slippery slope in the latter, especially when enforcing removal.. then you probably aren't thinking much to begin with...
0 pushback for this? She Said she's concerned with CIVIL RIGHTS. So maybe Censorship isn't the best path towards Free Speech. Come on DN. You Know better. Please Do better.
Sure, I'm all for free speech, only that every person must have the same voice, the same reach, the same Audience. This way, reach can be purchased, which means, the public dialogue can be manipulated with enough money. That's not democratic.
Your platform shouldn’t be called “Democracy Now” because it’s super one sided all the time. Your suppose to listen to both sides and report them both. Not overly one sided. It’s so annoying because you are purposely dividing people.
@@50-50_Grind dude exactly. The only people angry about freedom of speech are people who want to be bigoted with no recourse. Also, they have clearly never read the constitution because freedom of speech means that congress cannot enact restrictions on speech. Private businesses can do whatever they want. No one has a right to use a service in a manner which is inconsistent with terms and conditions that they signed. Lol. No one has a right to force someone to let them use their business differently than the businesses intends for.
Misinformation wins when information is controlled by a few. People that are for censorship should consider what would happen if power shifted to those that have opposing opinions.
Suppressing the criminal behavior of the family of the guy in charge who just happens to be suppressing the existence of Tesla in favor of companies who have been poluteing the planet for decades seems to me fair game. Payback is not bullying, payback is a bitch.
Ending corporate control of our conversations is a good thing. It also important for people to think, do their own research and make informed decisions. We don’t need corporations to rule us like dysfunctional parents. Grow up and when you do wrong things you are personally responsible. It is an improvement of democracy and return to real free speech.
We don't need corporations controlling things, just a single CEO. We're so smart aren't we guys? The richest man in the world, head of multiple corporations totally not part corporate culture.
@@StarvingAutist I was thinking the same thing. It seems we hate government control but want to give control to the very people who lobbies the and control the government. Make this make sense please.
What's enormously fun, though, is watching the response from leftists when Elon buys Twitter. It is detestable, of course, that we are dependent upon the goodwill of one billionaire to undo the incredible damage that a passel of other billionaires and their neurotic leftist minions have done to freedom of speech in this country. But it's telling that these same people are panicking now that Elon is using some of his billions to call them out on their tyrannical sins. It suggests that their hold on power is less stable than we might have thought just one year ago. It might also just mean that neurotic left wing ding bats will panic over anything. Smart, principled people are grateful that Elon is committed to free speech. They recognize that, when anti-free speech liberal, democrat despots control entirely the primary means of communication within a country, freedom is dying. At this point, we can only hope that Elon, who is a genius visionary that actually makes things people want, and cool rockets that send dozens of satellites into orbit and then come back and land. Do the whining fools not understand that they can still say whatever they want on Twitter, apparently not. LGB
I remember one Chomsky stating that Free Speech is not free if the opinions that we hate the most are not allowed. Nice to see DN displaying both sides of the argument here (not). Is there a bigger hypocrite than Amy Goodman?
The issue here is not free speech so quit crying. The issue is over ONE person owning such a massive platform and the potential affects on society. A dont disrespect amy. Its unwarranted.
Probably because you won’t be able to spew your liberal nonsense anymore without common sense conservatives rebutting such statements with facts and knowledge.

@@adrianlacey8774 Maybe because the term is very vague AND Musk is inconsistent in his support of free speech.
Calling a person you disagree with stupid shuts down speech. Poke all the holes you want in their arguements or logic, but name calling has a chilling effect. Not something a person who wants more free speech should be doing.
Listen to Musk tell you who he is and how he really is. It is there to be seen.

My thing is who decided what is "conspiracy theory" even when you post information from Dr who don't agree with the status quo we are labeled this way. Where's the balance? People should have a right to hear different views not just what the government pushes through the tv media.
These days the words "conspiracy theory" are more likely to mean "spoiler alert."
the social media platforms don't give you different views either, pushing to your timeline only posts that might interest you based on your own timeline, including ads.

Well people have to go look for different views if they are really interested about topic. Don't think it should be social media's job to spoon feed them all angles of a story.
Twitter is a cesspit already.
Claiming Elon has been an "abusive bully" on twitter is a pathetic lie.
A BIg lie .

It was never meant to lie about things and make up your own facts if you don't know the facts. The founding fathers had an ideal that was based on how ethical the population was at that time.
@@kimberlychappell5555 probably talking about the President of Change the Terms campaign who believes private companies should "stop amplifying hate speech and conspiracy theories".
Elon cannot possibly be any worse than the current stooges who run Twitter. Those sorts literally pull new rules/terms/policies, no matter how absurd and indefensible, straight out of their own rear ends, whenever they have a vendetta against any Twitter user who's behaved strictly within platform rules and norms.
This is one of the major reasons why people are so disgusted with the current, abusive, arrogant Twitter administration. It does not matter how well you've behaved on their platform, nor for how long you've proven yourself on the platform. If any one of these tiny, infantile tyrants dislikes anything about you (even if they're just a bigot, themselves), they make up new rules and policies on the fly, and sucker punch you with them. When they've decided to target and banish you, you get the peculiar experience of having your first ever "violation" abruptly lock down your account, with no first time temporary suspension, and absolute refusal to allow you to bring your account back into compliance, with whatever you allegedly "violated". You are completely denied normal protocol, which is afforded to first time "offenders". They also refuse to specify what rule/policy you "violated", so you cannot pin them down to anything specific, when discussing your situation in public.
There are some true doozies, where it comes to Twitter policies and rules, which Twitter administration has invented. I know of at least one, which doesn't even exist to address an actual problem on the platform, but instead appears to exist for no other reason, than to use it as a weapon in banishing certain minorities from the platform.
It's really disgusting stuff...Twitter admin should be ashamed of themselves. They have the worst integrity imaginable.
Oh...Hate speech and bullying are rampant on Twitter. So long as it's aimed at minorities Twitter administration do not like, or find inconvenient to have around, they will host stuff that stridently violates TOS, rules and policies, while refusing to take action against it.
Twitter admin, especially of the last few years, have been bottom of the barrel, hypocritical, bullying creeps.
I speak from personal experience, as a left leaning, human rights liberal...What flies as "normal procedure" on Twitter today, is Wrong! Wrong! Wrong!...It's gutless injustice, meted out by faceless cowards, who attack and silence the people that are trying to do good in this world.
I just hope this change opens the door, to my clearly assassinated account being restored to full functionality. If not, then we'll know that Elon is no free speech absolutist.
tbh, I have no faith in Musk. But musk can't be any worse than a crowd that puts w men in the same category as minorities.

Democracy Now and the Free Press, the irony is stupendous.
This is crazy, I am black and I am ok with racist having a voice, blacks having a voice, wife beaters having a voice and the wives that were beaten having a voice. The gays and the churches that hate them should have a voice too. Twitter is a private company. He can make what ever decision he wants to make and we the people choose to use the platform or not. If we want free speech we can not choose to only allow certain people to speak.
Actually it's Public...publicly traded with shareholders. He wants to make it private which is bad.

Scott Ritter is a perfect example of why free speech needs someone to stand up for it. If not Elon, then who?

You nailed it. Some people just want to live in fantasy land (internet) and actually thinks they are living in the real world.
Because people refuse to take responsibility for their own response to things. It is a choice. Hearing ideas, opinion, etc, that you disagree with can be approached in two ways. One, that you may gain a different perspective on something even if you disagree.. this IMO is healthier.. or Two, that you will be offended and want this perspective removed so that others cannot hear or listen to it. If you can't see the slippery slope in the latter, especially when enforcing removal.. then you probably aren't thinking much to begin with...

But it's telling that these same people are panicking now that Elon is using some of his billions to call them out on their tyrannical sins. It suggests that their hold on power is less stable than we might have thought just one year ago. It might also just mean that neurotic left wing ding bats will panic over anything.
Smart, principled people are grateful that Elon is committed to free speech. They recognize that, when anti-free speech liberal, democrat despots control entirely the primary means of communication within a country, freedom is dying. At this point, we can only hope that Elon, who is a genius visionary that actually makes things people want, and cool rockets that send dozens of satellites into orbit and then come back and land.
