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.

I am definitely down with holding Twitter, et all to their own terms of service. I would even put some restrictions on how frequently they're allowed to change them. Say, once a month at the beginning of the month.

We are more cautious about the Chinese than we are the Indians, and we shouldn't. The every day Chinamen, not govt, here just wants to live life, and seem to assimilate better. The Indians still bring that caste system mindset over here. Ones like this guy wants to turn our nation more to what he left. Probably has a dislike for the white man due to the UK period of rule.

Here’s the interview.

quote:

Lichfield: You're caught in a bit of a hard place as somebody in the audience is also pointing out, that you're trying to combat misinformation, you also want to protect free speech as a core value, and also in the U.S. as the first amendment. How do you balance those two?

Agrawal: Our role is not to be bound by the First Amendment, but our role is to serve a healthy public conversation and our moves are reflective of things that we believe lead to a healthier public conversation. The kinds of things that we do about this is, focus less on thinking about free speech, but thinking about how the times have changed. One of the changes today that we see is speech is easy on the internet. Most people can speak. Where our role is particularly emphasized is who can be heard. The scarce commodity today is attention. There's a lot of content out there. A lot of tweets out there, not all of it gets attention, some subset of it gets attention. And so increasingly our role is moving towards how we recommend content and that sort of, is, is, a struggle that we're working through in terms of how we make sure these recommendation systems that we're building, how we direct people's attention is leading to a healthy public conversation that is most participatory.

freedom of speech = government, not corporation.

This is not hard.

Twitter needs to die but not from government overreach.

I can’t believe people even use Twitter. And now you can’t believe a single quote with that shitstain of a website as its source.

What is the business plan of Twitter? What is it, but for "freedom of speech"?

Trump should have stripped them of their section 230 protections when he had the chance. Hopefully President Desantis does it

How any of these "platforms" enjoy immunity from defamation claims is truly beyond me

I'll put aside the obviously fascist avoidance of First Amendment constraints via a sham surface separation of corporation and state.

But the fiction that these aren't content editors/publishers is laughable.

Anybody shocked by this? Twitter and Facebook are propaganda arms of the ONE PARTY.

Why is anyone surprised by this statement? Who did you all think was going to replace Dorsey, Larry Flynt?

So they are cool with advertising as a place you can say only certain things?

Contrary to their founding?
