The behavior of Twitter and the Government was dangerous and wrong! Legal or not, it is outrageous.

Yes.

Seriously? Your brain may refuse to consume what the Twitter files show. It happens to me all the time when first looking at content that I'm not ready to listen to.

The leftists are getting my flack because they are not condemning the behavior. Anyone on the right doing this is equally dangerous and awful.

Core of complaint. I share the concern of Twitter Chinese employee that said Censorship destroys public conversation. The First Amendment in the U.S.A. exists specifically to prevent the government from silencing the people. Here we had a publicly owned company running a digital town square that connects millions of people. It's been proven repeatedly that people conform to the people around them. "You are who you hang out with" is a well-known saying. The company lies to the public. They lie in court. They say they are not doing the things they are accused of doing around censorship. Later it comes out that not only was this company censoring information, the government was paying them to do so. Beyond foreign, this was domestic psychological warfare. I believe millions of people, myself included, were influenced to think a certain way because of censorship. Censorship to silence people with certain speech, to gaslight them, and to amplify other social views is anti-American. The Twitter files are remarkable. It exposes unacceptable behavior that many people were unaware of and that smart people cannot believe is true. It does not matter who is breaking the story because the screenshots of emails are stand-alone evidence of facts.

Look at the warring here. Leftists are blocking contributors. They are not 'winning' with logic in their editorial comments. There are these people that act like "if we 'discredit' the company, then we can deflect accountability from the outrageously wrong behavior they keep showing in videos." https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Project_Veritas&action=history&dir=prev

FWIW The irony is why I did it.

Same as it ever was. Same as it ever will be. Once it is passed, it is too late. This out-of-control spending should anger 95%. Not your 30%.

Great. Who wins the edit warring?

I want to understand the thought process behind the belief that "big-tech censorship is good" and "government involvement with big-tech to censor" is good. When you do not condemn the behavior as bad, it implies that you think the behavior is fine. I can't wrap my head around it, so I'm asking 50 different ways to see if you move past deflection to share an opinion on the actual behavior.

Being legal doesn't make it right!

The same as it ever was! I was grateful to see this information on Twitter today. If the clown world still controlled Twitter, the post would be censored.

What is your opinion on the earmarks within?

Let me assume Musk is doing bad stuff and he is a terrible guy. Let’s both assume the journalists documenting Twitter files are all conservative and must be biased. For a moment, why don’t you assume the Twitter files is real. Is the behavior and content revealed in the Twitter files a concern to you.

There are articles that contributors are unable to update because the moderators will not allow it. If I said John Doe is a human, a Wiki moderator will change to it to state John Doe is a smelly fart. So it’s really something when that place claims someone as left who when the group in control is looking to discredit him. I was shocked wiki didn’t label him a conspiracy theorist, alt-right, etc.

What is your opinion on the earmarks within?

Is the behavior of the government and Twitter a nothing burger? Are the Twitter files a work of fiction? Or is it truth and not a concern.

We are doomed. https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1605253710753501186.html

The leftist-controlled Wikipedia claims him as left of the Democratic party and middle.

Why?

Great advice!

I liked GMI as a means to give a hand to children in poverty. More security with home and food leads to less crime, more education, and a productive future. Studies have shown this. I was naïve to think the government could do this responsibility.
