So the left is now pushing big companies to not advertise on Twitter unless Twitter promises to basically cow tow to their "demands" which include not letting "hate speech" (which as we all know is anything the left disagrees with) or "banned users" return.

I suspect Musk doesn't care one iota whether companies like Disney, Coca-Cola, etc don't advertise on Twitter and will tell those insisting on their little "demands" to pound sand, but guess we will see..

Any speech that is not leftist trash is considered “hate speech”. What Musk is “rolling back” is censorship of the truth.

Wow these people are dumb. First of all Musk said he was going to take the company private and bring money through subscriptions not advertising and second of all even if he kept advertising there’s no way these companies are going to avoid such an Aggregate of consumers.

“Coca-Cola (CCEP), Disney (DIS) and Kraft (KHC) are facing calls to boycott Twitter”

I’d say if they boycott Twitter I’d boycott them, but I’m already boycotting Coke and Disney, so I guess I’d just have to add Kraft to the list. Whatever, the generic mac & cheese is good enough.

There is more hate speech on Facebook than a Klan convention. FB just hides it better, and the sheer volume of content makes it harder to find.

The good thing about social media is that it is “social”. People can freely weed out the haters from their feeds. They can argue against bad ideas. They can opt to argue points against information they believe to be untrue. That is the whole idea behind the 1st Amendment and there is no reason why it cannot or should not apply to these platforms except for the fact that those who would censor content can exert pressure on private companies (or are run by people who want to censor) because they are not government forums. Even more, the platforms are exempt from liability so there is even less reason for these platforms to censor anything at all.

If crimes are committed, then social people users can report the crimes to the authorities.

These three companies — Disney, Craft and Coke — maybe receive $5.00 a month from my monthly budget. That’s IT!

Musk, on the other hand, receives $110.00 per month from my monthly budget for my — finally — fast internet service.

Thanks EM and your companies!

Anti-Hate speech and anti-Bullying campaigns are not about protecting anyone except perverts and leftists.

This seems like a giant($$$)risk for Musk.

One word...sabotage.

Hope he's just a good chess-player.
