re: Jack Dorsey (Twitter Founder) on with Joe Rogan right now

Listened to it earlier today. Joe didn't really press him much but Jack did admit it has become essentially an echo chamber.

I am eager to hear that too. Should be an interesting comparison.

Of course you don't.

Good news for everyone that was annoyed that we didn’t cover censorship and deplatforming enough on the podcast with Jack Dorsey because he’s offered to come back on again. I’m going to take the criticism to heart and research all the high profile cases on the right and on the left and any instances that might be viewed as double standards. Anything in particular you think is important please leave a mention in the comments and I’ll have someone make a list. One thing I really liked that Jack said was that he felt that the ability to communicate online was a right that we all should have. Maybe there can be a road to redemption for people that have been banned? I’ll keep you folks posted as to when we work out the details and the date.

A reasonable response...it will be interesting to see how it goes in rnd 2, because in my view Dorsey was mostly evasive...typical CEO of a public company pablum. I think after the Musk debacle (for him) it's going to be tough to get these type of folks to go on any open ended convo show or if they do say anything meaningful. The cost way outweigh any benefit.

He blamed the youtube comments getting deleted on youtube algorithms.

I don't see rogan lying about this...he doesn't seem like a guy that would do it in the first place or back down if he did.

I’ve listened to JRE for many years so I have a good handle on him.

He definitely laid down for Dorsey.

The other question besides censorship of the right that he should have asked was the process for the blue check.

Dorsey said on the podcast that the blue check was intended to give credibility to people that are experts in a particular field.

That’s utter bullshite.

The blue checks, outside of legitimate celebrities and people of note, are given disproportionately to absolute nobodies that only spew leftist hatred.

I’ll give a great example:

Dr. Eugene Gu.

This is a 32 year old MD that has been out of residency for about 15 minutes and every time Trump Tweets, this guy has the first 3 or 4 comments spitting hatred at Trump.

He has that blue check.

They throw out blue checks to vitriolic leftists that have no discernible notoriety outside of Twitter like Mardi Gras beads.

I'll think about it and get back to you. Still haven't wrapped up the Killer Mike one from a few weeks ago which kinda sucks.

I get everything you are saying but being borderline conciliatory to Dorsey's bullshite does seem to run counter to a lot of his philosophy, or at least the persona he tries to convey.

Again, someone go look at Trump’s tweets and come back to explain Eugene Gu to me.

Tell me Twitter isn’t fricky.
