agenda.

What about similar spikes in pre-Elon times? How many hate-comments were from bots? Where did these bots come from? Why is there a media-focus on the supposed-increase of such language on Twitter when there wasn't before.

Looking at those spikes, they seem artificial and bot-led.

More interesting is musing why the Establishment and left-leaners are so anti-Elon. It's as if he's replaced Trump as a regular figure-to-hate.


*We have always hated Emmanuel Goldstein...
Because it's allowed, no idea why this is hard for you to grasp?

The rest of your posts here absolutely stink of whataboutism, for what it's worth.
 
it's just the reality of it - it's not free speech for everyone, it's free speech for the far-right agenda.
it's not tho', is it?

There's been a proven anti-conservative agenda in social media for years (as you yourself admit), but when - in isolated cases - it seems like the boot is on the other foot, suddenly there's mass cries of the usual triggering buzzwords Far-Right, Racism, Nazi etc


This is what true balance is...there's gonna be stuff everyone dislikes too, and if folk aren't used to it they're gonna be triggered.

The trick is to allow all except the illegal and truly hateful. Twitter seems to be doing ok on that front.

There is no true balance in any case of the word on a social cesspit like twitter, even less so now we have edgy memelord multimillionaire proven liar leading the line.

And everyone here, me included, have given you proof of the illegal and truly hateful, and you've brushed it aside because the right wing was apparently oppressed....? What?

Hateful violent rhetoric is not allowed, it's against the rules...rightfully so. But the volume of posts on Twitter means many get missed...countless examples of horrible nasty stuff from Far Left types stay up too, just because they get missed by the mods.

This thread is titled "Elon Musk"...how is it 'whataboutery' to comment on the level of hate he gets in this thread?

The thing you backed up with hard evidence is that right-leaning folk were more targeted for censure.

Otherwise, we can compare all day hateful posts from Left types vs Right types and see who has the most...probably about even these days, tho' minus the bots I think the Left still edge it on Twitter.

There are no mods, this is literally what people are saying - he literally removed a lot of those, removed fact checking, they've admitted to doing so lol And that's the whataboutism - right wing MAGA types can go and call black people slaves and N-words, but it's okay, because people were mean to them once, too! lol

The thread is titled Elon Musk and it started off with discussions about him before he went utterly mental, yes. The fact he's now basically a right wing gun nut is a fact of his life.

As is the fact he lies and Tesla are fast, but very, very poor expensive cars.
 
Lads, don't effing fall into his cycle. It's the only thread outside of CAwhere he can indulge his fetish of endless culture war waffle.

If you were interested in knowing where the conversation was going to go, here's a spoiler alert: Every stat you post will be MSM propaganda, every fact you state will be a matter of opinion, Trump is a misunderstood genius, Elon is a misunderstood genius, Kanye is a misunderstood genius, the left are nazis, the Daily Mail comment section is a reliable source of information.

Do yourselves a favour:

Your first line is an absolutely mental take - you've taken your own idea and concept of "free speech" and applied it to a niche case. By your own definition, the right wing should be called nazis and all sorts every day, as they call LGBT people pedos and *cigarette-ends* every day.

Imagine saying in one post you want censure of racism/abuse and then saying it should've been allowed a post later with this one. They were targeted because of hate they say - they even made not one but about 5 other platforms to spout their abuse on. That was the whole point of Qanon, of the Trump social media, of the other one whose name I forgot (sorry about that) and so on - NO MODERATION.

I'd imagine if I started calling you a Nazi because (IIRC) you're of German descent (or are you German? Genuinely forgot, sorry!) I'd get rightly banned/punished. Would you then defend me as a courageous act of freedom of speech?

I've been around long enough to know you and your incessant arguing about your very own type of idyllic freedom of speech/acts, but what you keep saying isn't freedom of (in this case) speech - it's just allowing whoever's loudest under the pretense of "freedom of speech".

Point me in the direction of those incredibly abusive for no reason far lefters that, for no reason, attack the right by the way. Because the opposite exists and it's very, very loud and obvious. Somehow very coincidentally, also banned/punished everywhere but on Twitter. Wonder why that is?

it's replaced by Community Notes. Genuinely community-led rather than partisan ideological agenda-driving.

right wing MAGA types can go and call black people slaves and N-words, but it's okay,
it's not and never ok, ffs...

...again, where are those comments coming from? Why are they spiking in that manner? Where was the focus on them (during similar spikes) in pre-Elon times?

The fact he's now basically a right wing gun nut is a fact of his life.
Community-Note: this is an opinion, not a factual statement.
 
Also community notes somehow keep labelling the Trump case(s) as misinformation lol

Right, "Genuinely community-led rather than partisan ideological agenda-driving".

Which community is that that is leading this? lol
