Especially if you have kids.

Exactly, I’m fine with being on edge, but its not right to force that on kids if you can help it.

It’s always been complicated, Chomsky famously got criticized around the world for opposing censorship of different perspectives. Censorship has always come from collectivist ideologies though.

Other people see the signs than the drivers, a lot of them I think are for kids to nag their parents

I’d say a big part of it is that drivers already filter out billboards, but those info signs often have important information on them that drivers are expected to read

I do, just like how VPN companies, Github, etc do

I’m more alarmed when a government does it, but regardless, yea his motive might not actually be what he claims, it doesn’t really matter though since censorship is still bad

You know that Twitter isn’t banned in Turkiye and India because they complied with their requests for censure,

Yes, and I oppose that.

since you know, those are right wing governments run by strong men

Could be, could be he got fed up with it, idk.

Funny how free speech becomes the issue just when the requests come from governments whose ideology don’t align with this particular clown’s.

Um, no? Free speech was an issue then too. Someone can do good things and bad things. Censoring is bad, refusing to censor even if its just in one case is good.

you’re banned if you correctly call someone cis gendered.

Yes that’s bad

I don’t know what you’re misunderstanding, censorship is bad, its bad when Musk does it, and its really bad when a government does it. Because governments can shoot you and throw you in jail for not complying.

Well, from what I understand when X appoints a legal representative they will then be held responsible for refusing to ban. Is that wrong?

Idk, not my place to judge

good to know

sadly I happen to know the demographics of this site is mostly 25+

B. If we accept a Chinese version of Google then there’s no reason we can’t accept a Brazilian version of X.

You understand Google is banned in China because they wouldn’t accept censure right?

Don’t speak out against the mob on here, it’s honestly worse than Reddit. “Censorship of political opponents is bad actually” is an unpopular take on here

They’re talking about Bolsonaro. But yeah when you use the same insults against all the people you disagree with it makes it hard to tell them apart

That’s not what the article says, the article says it’s because X refused to ban users and because of that. Not just because of that

Well it makes sense, the modern form of aliens is from American mythology. It’s like complaining that all the spottings of the Loch Ness monster are around Loch Ness

It’s true for a lot of these minor complaints about America. Of course there are valid complaints about the US, but some of them are very petty and not a real representation.

“American food quality is bad” because you go to fancy restaurants on vacation, and/or when visiting the US don’t know where to find quality food because it’s in different places.

“but quality food is cheap” yeah when you have to pay half as much or less for labor it can be

“people are less fat because the food is healthier” no, people are less fat because they are addicted to cigarettes instead of soda. also walk more.

“america has no culture” … this should be obvious

“Americans are so loud” this very much depends on the country you’re comparing too, but at least where I’ve lived Germans, Dutch, and locals(Czechs) are the loudest
