Musk will figure out how to wield the Banhammer of Justice to focus on truly dangerous people, like the pedos and child traffickers the former Twitter regime protected.
But it his hilariously tragic to hear the left make righteous free speech arguments now, after what they supported for years. Jessica Tarlov (or whatever her last name is now that she found a "man" who could stand her) made that argument on the Five yesterday. She was wailing that Musk was not really for free speech after all (due to 7 day bans, not lifetime bans) and that he was a hypocrite when her argument itself proved what a massive hypocrite she has been.
It's kind of fun to watch the leftist Twitterati squirm after the 7 Day Banhammer came down on a few of the snarkiest ones.
"It's nothing when it happens to you," they say, "but a catastrophe when it happens to me."
To them I say: 1) it is a private company, 2) learn to code, and 3) make your own Twitter.
All things I heard when conservatives complained about getting banned.
Goose - gander, baby.
Evidently Musk's private plane was registered with the FAA through a
program that allows owners of private aircraft to keep their location
private from the public. Someone figured a way around the system and
was sharing the info with "journalists" who were retweeting the
information.
Well would they be happy if we doxxed the journalists and received a seven day ban? I would say that was equally acceptable. Doxxing - which is the intended release of sensitive information to hurt someone - is blackmail without a monetary demand. As such it is worth stopping. I see no inconsistency here. There is a huge difference between a temporary suspension for doxxing and banning Trump because he was effective with his use of Twitter. Had they suspended Trump for seven days no doubt nobody would have been so enraged.
