I have to say I am suprised how many liberal posters here see this as the end of free speech. I never realized there were so many people here in favor of speech suppression, and were in favor of posters on Twitter and Facebook be blackballed. Thankfully posters here could not get that done here by pressuring mgmt.

If you aren't going to believe what the story says as to how the number dropped, why believe it that the number dropped in the first place?

Again, Twitter is a private company. They can regulate their content any way they wish. It has nothing to do with free speech or the first amendment. That only pertains to the government. Conservatives seem to be OK with companies regulating the speech and behavior of their employees. They just do not like it when they are the ones affected.
I guess VB has missed all the book bannings going on in the Red states. He seems to have no issues with that. Nor does he have an issue with the Florida Don't Say Gay Bill.

Yeah some laptop repair shop claimed it was abandoned at his shop and then somehow Giuliani got hold of it. That’s like finding a bloody glove at a murder scene and giving it to the local mob boss who then turned it into the cops. Questionable provenance. Then there are the leaps that the conspiracy minded righties have taken with it. It’s Hunters and therefore Joe is involved in corruption with him. Joe is pushing for 33 million in add for the Ukraine because they are blackmailing him with more stuff about Hunter. I say we start some baseless conspiracies ourselves. A whistleblower in the feds investigation of Trump has been found dead in LA a year after he went missing. He was the son of a high ranking bank employee who killed himself. After his death his son found scores of documents related to the bank’s relationship with Trump. So, with zero evidence to support this, let’s say Don Jr hired some Proud Boys to murder this guy to keep him quiet about all the money laundering Trump did with the Russians. Dons crazy girlfriend lured the guy to a hotel room for sex and Don, an avid hunter, jumped out of a closet and fired five shots at him with a tiger rifle, then he and his girlfriend did coke next to the corpse. I think I like making these baseless conspiracies. How could prove me wrong? The lame stream media? Right wing snowflakes? Oh, I see neither of you can handle the truth any longer. I notice you avoid it pretty assiduously....

That we can not call people names and threaten them? I see Musk's Twitter being OK with certain people being abused and threatened. I do not see that as free speech. I see that as harassment.

Oh, I see neither of you can handle the truth any longer. I notice you avoid it pretty assiduously.... i posted on the Biden laptop. it is the type of evidence that is inadmissible in court. yet certain <cough> individuals see fit to try, convict, and sentence him in absentia without ANY physical evidence whatsoever.

I think I like making these baseless conspiracies. How could prove me wrong? The lame stream media? Right wing snowflakes? Oh, I see neither of you can handle the truth any longer. I’d like to see the truth about the lap top. And proof that whatever Hunter was up to, his dad was involved. So far, what I’ve seen on conservative sights runs along the lines of ‘everyone knows it’s true.’ Only factual thing I can find is they are investigating Hunter for possible tax fraud, and not long ago he paid a 300k tax debt he failed to pay on time. If you have any thing concrete, like an indictment, I’d love to see it. Otherwise, the laptop is just a collective fantasy of a GOP tired of having to ignore the shit on the hands of everyone involved in Trump inc. and I can direct you to the lawsuits and indictments to back that up.

Is your understanding of the rest of the Bill of Rights as lame as your understanding of the First Amendment, it’s meaning, and that private companies can do whatever they want?

So everyone can agree that twitter postings are not free speech. DJ..you don't want Musk to change the decorum of twitter I think as a conservative that twitter is too liberal and needs to be changed. We have far too many media outlets that cater to the liberal needs or wannnnnts. I didn't like all the nasty postings of Trump although some may be well deserved but not by a sitting president. He shouldn't have had his account suspended. Hopefully Musk can get use his position to get twitter back to a center position. I doubt it but hopefully

(i think) i have stated precisely why i want Twitter left alone on this thread. it has nothing to do with my politics. i don't tweet, and i kinda resent those that do. i also hate FB. so, i literally have NO skin in this game. please don't think this is personal. it isn't.

I doubt it but hopefully well, this isn't about nasty postings. this is about bullying, threatening, and abusing people that are actually ON the board to the point that they no longer feel comfortable or welcome. i have never done that, but i would presume that if i did, management would boot me out of here. and they SHOULD do that. it is a disservice to other posters to allow that to happen. i am not going to get into the specific case of Trump, but politicians are fair game. if he posted here, that would be another matter.

I would suggest, however, that conservatives being booted from social media platforms for misinformation, disinformation, lies, bullying, and other activities that could likely be considered treasonous does not really equate to those forums catering to liberals.

I never realized there were so many people here in favor of speech suppression, and were in favor of posters on Twitter and Facebook be blackballed. Thankfully posters here could not get that done here by pressuring mgmt. Talk of speech suppression, is this a threat by the Senate minority leader? Send us your money and keep your mouth shut? They don't even try to hide their disdain for free speech. And yet, last Monday, here was McConnell treating the spectacle of business leaders engaging in political debate as a stark threat to be extinguished. The provocation was a series of corporate statements denouncing Republican-sponsored voting restrictions, which McConnell described as “a coordinated campaign by powerful and wealthy people to mislead and bully the American people.” McConnell, invoking a spate of Republican proposals to punish firms that speak out against their vote-suppression laws, warned, “Corporations will invite serious consequences if they become a vehicle for far-left mobs to hijack our country.”
The next day, after reiterating his warning to corporations to “stay out of politics,” McConnell clarified that he did not mean to discourage their continued donations. Corporate money is speech, but speech isn’t speech. nymag.com/intelligencer/2021/04/mitch-mcconnell-and-the-agony-of-the-corporate-republican.htmlDesantis? Punishing Disney? Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has defended his call to eliminate the Walt Disney Company's self-governing privileges, even after a poll showed that most U.S. voters do not support governments punishing companies over political issues. www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/desantis-defends-disney-call-as-poll-shows-voters-reject-company-punishment/ar-AAWJM1H?ocid=uxbndlbingPosters here may not be able to get it done by pressuring management, but Republican leaders sure can.

Oh, I see neither of you can handle the truth any longer. I notice you avoid it pretty assiduously.... i always seek the truth, even when it hurts. the problem with the Biden Laptop story is that the chain of evidence has been mishandled so grossly that it is difficult to take any of it seriously. many have made the same claim about the Steele Dossier. it is a pity that they can only find room for doubt for other's causes, and not their own.

As with most things it is primarily a right-wing problem. That is especially true in the age of Trump where truth has become something to be avoided, and facts are meaningless. Take voter fraud, for example. Conservatives have seized upon voter and election fraud as one of the greatest evils ever, yet most individual fraud is by Republicans. Organized, large-scale fraud is committed almost exclusively by Republicans. The denial of liberties is another that is almost exclusively done by Republicans. I don't know if it is part of their plan to scream most loudly about the things that they do themselves to distract from their own wrongdoing, but it happens often.

"just fucking address the question, please" is what i feel like saying about 1% of the time in my private life, and half the time on this board.

or maybe liberals have decided to finally unplug from yet another social platform that is heading south. not everything is a conspiracy, VB. sometimes it is just human behavior.

I really shouldn't use the word hate, I personally don't like it. Woke movement---gave the liberals something else to cry about which is just about everything. woke has been appropriated by a thousand worthless causes. it is so diluted at this point that it is practically meaningless.

I don't even know what you think the "woke" movement is about. To me it feels like the current desire of some people to link unrelated stuff to CRT.
