Obviously the problem is the technology that makes it too easy for a drunk person to be publicly intoxicated and causing trouble.

But ignore the fact that most people on this board work for companies that build this technology.

I dont agree.

So because some un-self-aware rich a hole says something offensive we should censor, restrict the free speech of the general populous?

It's not the enablement of communication that's the problem here. It's a simple case of fault. He is as fault for his actions, not social media.

I have my objects to Twitter, but that isn't one of them. Here, someone in a position of power demonstrated poor judgment and self-control in a way that damages his reputation and that of his company, but does not harm anyone beyond that.

Presumably GP is not suggesting censorship but rather that we pause and zoom out before condemning someone for saying something dumb on the internet while drunk.
