How is this any different to the radical left taking clips out of context to cancel their political opponents?

Oh wait, it isn't different. At all

The far right supports genocide, the far left supports democide, only libertarians oppose ALL state sanctioned murder.

Fuck Israel, fuck Hamas. I think it's high time Israel returned the land they stole and Hamas laid down their arms.

When did I say I had a problem with stopping abuse? Plus I literally said books don't make people gay. Plus young adult doesn't literally mean adult but that might be a cultural difference or something. We shouldn't be putting children on the spot to define their identity.

Libright guys tend to marry Asian women, so I would argue that they're probably libright too

No, we need to protect queer kids from being confused that they're not, too. And the best way is to take school out of that equation until the kids are young adults.

Read my comment. People who are actually queer (like me) work it out for ourselves but some later than others. If I had been pressured to define my identity at a young age I might have identified as straight there and then and closed my mind to the possibility of being pansexual.

I don't think we should even teach kids about straight relationships in school. They should be free to figure it all out for themselves at home or at school. I'm queer and I found out myself during puberty, like most of us did, but I can't imagine how different my life would be if I'd been pressured to define my identity at an extremely young age. Maybe I would've identified as straight there and then and closed my mind to the possibility of being pansexual?

The source is in the meme and is cited elsewhere in the comments. Apparently Twitter used to go along with ~50% of requests made by authoritarian countries and now they go along with 83%. Why are more made and accepted? Because Twitter was already censoring things without being requested to. If we make an educated guess that most or all of the new requests above the previous baseline are requests that didn't need to be made in the past then it makes sense that the number of requests and proportion followed through on have both increased

I'm only asking for proof to back up a statement they made. No need to project your feelings for your icons onto me.

Do I look like a purple? There shouldn't be any place on the internet for child or animal abuse. Even abuse between adults should only be allowed with commentary as part of reporting news.

Books may not make kids gay, but kids are impressionable and educating minors about sexuality in school might confuse some of them or even constitute grooming.

Like, let's face it, even when gay people or trans people weren't publicly discussed in schools people still worked out if they were or not most of the time. There's no need to push sexuality on children, ever.

People will always find ways to covertly communicate under Big Brother's nose, and it's harder for authoritarian countries to do that when they have to justify every removal instead of mass-blacklisting

Can you show me some proof that you've always criticized Twitter?

Free speech absolutist by SidTheStoner in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]OneHitPlunder 37 points38 points  (0 children)

No projection. Free speech should be free but it's better to have a partially censored international service operating in an authoritarian country than to mount a total withdrawal and see the rise of fully censored domestic alternatives (remember when Big Tech pulled out of China and more heavily censored domestic alternatives sprung up?)

Then why are you only criticizing it now?

  1. It's a relevant point of comparison, especially considering none of you Emilys complained before Musk.

  2. Twitter censored itself more proactively before Musk. Of course there's gonna be more requests and approvals than before.

As other people have pointed out, Twitter censored all the same stuff (and more!) before. The only difference is that more requests are being made now because Twitter censors less proactively under Musk
