Welcome to the new Twitter, just like the old Twitter.
At least now everyone understands the value of a neutral free speech town square and can see that "it's a company, they can do what they want" was always a disingenuous argument. It was never principled, it was always predicated on bias alignment. It's the same with those who are happy about these journalists being banned. Blatant bias and hypocrisy on both sides.
- bitcharmer 4y agoI have no idea why you're getting down voted. Previously you could tweet "kill all white men" and nothing would happen. Not so much with the same statement targeting a different group.

- runarberg 4y agoFrom your own source: > However, on 26 October the Metropolitan Police dropped the charges, revealing that they had discontinued their criminal case against Mustafa because there was "not enough evidence to provide a realistic prospect of conviction".[25][26][24] Under the Victim's Right to Review Scheme, one of the complainants in the case then requested that the Crown Prosecution Service review their decision to terminate criminal proceedings. #killallmen is not meant as a serious threat against any one person, or even a group of people. It is meant as an—albeit radical—battle-cry to topple the patriarchy. At least that is how most courts and most moderators see it, so censoring it like if it were a serous death threat would always be rather silly.

People still very much don't want that. > and can see that "it's a company, they can do what they want" was always a disingenuous argument. There's no conflict between saying that and also saying that chanting 'free speech' over and over while banning people for what they say about you just makes you a liar.
