Preliminary thoughts:

I am honestly not sure why race was brought up. If the person in the car was “a blonde haired blue eyed man” and that description would also have been given in the post because identifying exactly what they person looked like was important, than maybe it made sense. But all too often mentioning race is tinged with prejudice.…[Read more]

Anyhow, if you folks want to live in some control-freak Stepford Utopia in some place like Sim City, Second Life, Civilization, Metaverse, or some other “dream-in-every-home” program or app, have at it.

Enco must be a bot. There is no way an intelligent person would stoop to such ridiculous nonsensical stupidity. Enco…come down to Earth.

In fact…Canada, the EU and many other cou tries have hate speech laws and media regulations which apply to Twitter. Twitter can only partially get around these. While Canada might not have much muscle, the EU does and will definitely cripplingly fine or even block a site that breaks it’s laws. It has heavily fined large media companies in the…[Read more]

Unseen, two things:

Going from a corporation where a board, elected by multiple shareholders to ownership by one person is obviously a concentration of great power and wealth into the hands of one person. While he isn’t monopolising the market, he is definitely acquiring considerable power and potential wealth. Having said that, my discussion of…[Read more]

The FCC fairness act is an attempt to keep the mega corps and billionaires from buying up all the broadcast media channels and then getting to decide everything we heard. I guess you prefer that.

I have noticed that some people who worship the free market, they tend to overlook the fact that in order for a market to actually be “free” it cannot be…[Read more]

The greatest investment Musk could make and gift he could give to humanity is torch twitter to the ground. I take it far beyond Autumn’s description as a place where discussions might not happen but those deriding other’s views and I would say that is a giant proportion. I have virtually never learnt anything from twitter but have only had some…[Read more]

What Reg said. I cannot understate enough how much of a petty attention seeking douchebag Musk is. He has written no shortage of odd, vile, slanderous, manipulate and creepy tweets. Best thing anyone could do is delete their twitter. I did years ago after having the misfortune of handling the social media for a few departments. The world would be…[Read more]

Yeay…Twitter can become an even more grotesque platform of brazen disinformation spreading, hate and a platform for Trump to overthrow the government. It is a win for everyone!!! What can go wrong with one person being in control of a monolithic database of everyone’s data with virtually no regulation or oversight!?!?!?

Enco your comparisons of Putin’s war mongering with limited and highly specific and carefully applied hate-laws is ridiculous and tiresome. Try another strategy or perhaps even concede something, even just a little, like once a year or two. It is actually liberating to admit once in a while you can rethink something.

Who’s August? LOL

I’m super sorry Autumn for referring to you as August. I apologise!!!!

Yes August, I remember when the requirement to have a luxury stereo system in your car came out, I tried to skirt the law by ordering a cheap one from Taiwan without multiple CD changers and terrible base quality. Eventually the police pulled me over because my tail lights were off. They noticed my sub standard stereo system and I got a €2000 f…[Read more]

Fellow Unbelievers, Here’s a story that highlights the peril of government outlawing Misinformation/Disinformation/Malinformation. Again, be careful what you wish for: Russia:
No one here appears to be advocating for any legislation, policy, or practice to that effect.

Oh but you speak too soon Autumn. The goal of anyone who advocates for highly s…[Read more]

Is that a slippery slope argument? Maybe, but the slippery slope argument, treated as leading to a conclusion with necessity is surely fallacious, but treated as a warning of a potential risk, as a temptation that would be easy to give into, there’s nothing fallacious about it.

There is no maybe about your slippery slope, and your suppositions a…[Read more]

Again with the slippery slope shit Unseen. I’m not engaging in slippery slope arguments. Yes, harm is relative. Hate speech laws are not geared towards people whose feeling are hurt over a rude opinion. They are geared towards protecting vulnerable groups from the most extreme hate-speech. Please stop the slippery slope nonsense.

If you can…[Read more]

As I’ve said, allowing the government to decide what you can read, watch, hear, see, or believe allows any government to do it, not just a government enforcing your ideas

You act as though there is any single country in the world which doesn’t have at least some measures banning books, videos or expressing certain ideas. Even in the US, the a…[Read more]

Yeah and school bullying has always been around, and since my father’s generation something is slowly being done about it, with many people going “that’s just the way kids are”, while the victims are more able to trust adults to do something as they are relentlessly terrorised. Abusive environments that threaten someone’s well being, opportunities…[Read more]
