Former CTO and new Twitter CEO Agrawal in November 2020 interview: "Our role is not to be bound by the First Amendment... focus[ing] less on thinking about free speech, but thinking about how the times have changed."


Back to those 45 communist goals...

29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.

Only one side of the culture has free speech, and that’s the truth

Oh this bitch is off to a good start…

Repealing the protections for them and Facebook is seeming better and better.

Why doesn't he just ban white people from twitter and be done with it?

That's what he wants.

Not a problem if you're not on Twitter. The only people who will be affected by this are the self proclaimed conservative grifter types who still have an account and make their livelihood there.

Damn, this woman is coming out guns-a-blazin. I wonder what side she's on.

She made me hate her right away.

If we lived in a just world, Twitter would lose its platform designation and Section 230 protections immediately. How can any sane human think that choosing what kind of free speech is allowed/censored does not constitute editorial judgment?

interesting comment from that article posted at Gateway Pundit.

"Get off Twitter and Facebook. Do not link to either. Use no business that subscribes to them...TGP that means you, too"

SOUNDS RIGHT!

If lefties weren't so utterly stupid, they'd drop Twatter like a poisonous snake.

I'm not on Twitter, but respectfully this is short sighted. This is the same mindset that has allowed the left to fully take over every aspect of pop culture.

And you may say, "Well fine...I don't watch any of that." The problem with that is that politics, as Breitbart once said, is downstream from culture. We have walked away and given pop culture to the left, and they've used it to influence an entire generation or two of young people all over the world.

Twitter is no different. Without any pushback there, or any of the social media platforms for that matter, all voices to the right are silences and the only voice heard will be that of The Party.

The only way you're going to stop the left from completely taking over Twitter is to start something else and keep it going or get really good at writing nursery rhymes.

We were winning the war on Twitter, so they did what leftists do: They cheated and then changed the rules. If conservatives don't find a way to totally nullify Twitter, it's pointless to keep playing by their rules.

She/he...it doesn't matter. They both believe the same shite.

I'd be surprised if he was any different than her.

Yeah, Jack was a shitshow, but I do think he somewhat cared and valued free speech. None of Jack’s underlings do and they all actually despise it. Everyone in the Daily Wire will have their accounts shut down by the end of 2023.

Corporations aren’t bound by the First Amendment.

Is there more context to this?

As long as you weren't a Republican, I suppose that might be true to some degree.

What do the "current times" call for instead?

What is Twitter? What is their business now?

I don't fully disagree, but either Twitter needs to play by the rules they actually put in place (same goes for all the other social media platforms) allowing ALL voices to be heard or they need to be treated as publishers and be sued for content. Allowing them to eat their cake and have it to is partly why we've gotten here.

That said, I'll all about fostering a secondary economy with alternative things to spend money on and support.
