I thought Gizmodo was on the team ranting against X having "free speech." But now that something went wrong with it, they are on the pro "free speech" side?
We need a stronger word than hypocrite. Though, I shouldn't be surprised - G/O Media (who owns Gizmodo, Jezebel, Kotaku) is well known for being peddlers of poppycock.
Musk asserts that he subscribes to absolute free speech, but continuously shows that he most definitely does not, usually through being a thin skinned snowflake.
1. You have no right to hate speak. 2. Companies don't have to give you a platform. 3. It's not censorship unless the government is doing it! 4. Muh freez peach
I guess we are now trying to walk back our previous declarations by saying that "Free Speech" and "Absolute Free Speech" are distinct things.
How about instead we learn that if we censor and silence critics that the same tactics will be used by the other side, and a civilized society this does not make.
you have the right to hate speak. Hate speak all you like!
>2. Companies don't have to give you a platform.
they dont!
> 3. It's not censorship unless the government is doing it!
you can use the word "censorship" anywhere, it's just if you are going to claim First Amendment rights, then only the government is involved there.
