Musk suspends Kanye West’s Twitter account

was not a good tweet. still dont support censorship.

In the end Musk cares more about advertisers and money than free speech.
Kanye can’t be condoned for supporting that nazi crap but free speech is free speech

He was properly removed for tweeting a swastica

eh its a private company so he can do he wants but who gives a shite what ye tweets? If he tweets a pic of dogshit I would be disgusted but could manage to survive. Freedoms are often messy

There is a difference between moderation and censorship.

Censorship is a pretty clear cut thing and this is censorship. It's his company and he can set rules and remove content that breaks his rules, but it's still censorship. And not that I'm condoning Kanye's never ending attention whoring, but Twitter has hosted terror groups, allowed coordination of riots and robberies, had celebrities post mocked up murders and took no action. It's not a very consistent "moderation", even with Musk at the wheel.

This is a tough line to walk. It’s quite evident that Kenya has had an extreme mental breakdown and now he’s being exploited by opportunistic media like Alex Jones. When a person gets to the point where everybody but them is aware of this, it becomes an ethical issue more so than censorship.

Kanye is quite literally self destructing before our eyes. We all know how this is likely to end.

Fooled around and found out.

Ye did this on Elon's watch. Which mean it's his decision. Asking him to retroactively go back and suspend accounts is a bit Orwellian.

Doesn't the peace symbol swastika flow in the opposite direction than the nazi swastika?

But even so, Kanye has been praising nazis and Hitler and shitting on Jews, it's obvious it's a nazi swastika.
