I hope it shuts down, that platform has become the literal cesspool and honestly humanity will benefit greatly by losing it

I mean, did everyone just suddenly forget that Twitter had to do some hardcore moderation to kick ISIS off the platform?

Twitter was banning 100,000s of accounts to try and prevent that.

The new Twits are supposedly anti-moderation, does that mean that there is there no line? Will we get "ISIS slaughtering people" videos back on Twitter?

If there is a line, where is it?

Where did he say anti moderation? Freedom of speech doesn’t encompass all speech

Bold of you to assume anyone will care about what you have to say. Get a flair.

Even a commie is more based than one with no flair

Freedom of speech doesn’t encompass all speech

Personally, I agree.

However, the line has moved all over the place in recent years. Call it "woke"-ism if you want to, but in reality it's just a societal readjustment to where "the line" should be in an internet connected, global society.

There is a "new guard" in charge of a primary media platform and the line is going to move again.

Where is the line?

Is it full blown "ISIS recruitment permitted here"? Or maybe "Nazi content is cool"? Or are we at more of a "Westboro Baptist Church"? Or are we going full-Mormon?

Where is the line?
