Dont like an opinion you read? Claim an micro aggression, refer to your sensitivity and how hurt you felt, and the pack howls in your favour.



Somebody once said it best: either talking about what free speech is allowed to say and what not - or simply having free speech.

Following is copied from a Danish politician and translated

"Now begins prominent Black Lives Matter, woke, left-leaning, US-liberal and Cancel Culture supporters
to leave twitter - they do not like freedom of speech."

1. Twitter isn't free not yet to be correct a friend had to remove a post.

2. Don't know whether this is true or not

Well I tried to find an English version of the Swedish text EU could Ban Twitter in the entire EU..due to Musk free speech.

Only thing I could find was this

Quote:
Elon Musk vowed to prioritize free speech as Twitter Inc.’s new owner, but a senior official from the European Union has warned the world’s richest person will still have to contend with the region’s strict content rules, just like any other social media company.

Twitter was flooded with user reports of high-profile accounts’ losing thousands of followers in the hours after news broke that Tesla CEO Elon Musk would purchase the social network. The company said Tuesday that the “fluctuations in follower counts” came from “organic” account closures.

Hope the platform closes up. It is full of hate and vitriol like none other.

Plenty of places to get your daily dose of stochastic terrorism whatever happens to Twitter in the long run. 😐

It will be interesting to see how he reacts to "free speech" when it is directed against him or counter to his opinions.

Ol’ Elon, having been on this planet for awhile now and assuming he even bothers to spend time wondering what the god social media says. I’m sure would have already reacted.

Even Albert Einstein had to put up with naysayers but only in Germany was his theories discussed, criticized, and defended.
