Never thought I’d see the day where he censored a bunch of white dudes but here we are.

He is not a free speech absolutist that’s for sure

[-] DogPeePoo@lemm.ee 82 points 2 months ago

He’s more of an absolute piss baby

[-] TragicNotCute@lemmy.world 25 points 2 months ago

Well his own speech is absolutely free. I’m pretty sure that’s what he meant.

[-] Red_October@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

He'll also trample absolutely any rules necessary to support speech he happens to agree with.

[-] 200ok@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

His own speech cost 44 billion

Yeah how is this feller making sense of this in his own head? I can hardly believe I once thought this guy had love in his heart.

It's obvious, he tried making sense for a long time and it just didn't work out. He then chose and tailored an audience for the cost of Twitter so he could have an audience that logic does not apply to.

(Note he said that after the "free speech absolutist" claim.)

Well, then I’m going to start writing to my representatives to start passing laws to hold those who spout transphobia and speciesism accountable to the law.

Not to mention that one of the first things he did upon taking ownership of Twitter was to game the entire thing so his own tweets get the most attention on the site.

Honestly, I think that White Dudes for Harris should sue the platform for an illegal contribution to the Trump campaign. It is by definition a media platform and by denying the account they've clearly crossed a line.

He's all about free speech he absolutely agrees with.

Just African-Canadian things
