Now tell me @Grenade123 does that sound fun.
It may be a bit hyperbolic but it’ll become something similar to that. History shows us the same
@Dan V unfortunately I have no civil rights in Australia... so I’m hoping Americans can hold the torch for people like me in countries like mine...
Tyt are the establishment lol
Or more acutely
Neo establishment
They are owned by yt pretty hard
Back when we had the demonetization wave they kept silent and didnt make single video about it
😔
I am pretty convinced that they are owned since then

@GodOfMercy (Jack) unfortunately, it's becoming more and more common for western governments to further restrict individual civil rights which is directly against their mandate as a representative government
Wew
Geez
fuuuucking heeeeeeellllll
Some of the things people do...
@GodOfMercy (Jack) tell me... why should I care what social media companies do? I don't use social media. The closest thing I have is this. And if this went away, so what? This is just shits and giggles that can often be more annoying than it's worth. I only ever used Facebook, and even then I barely used it any differently I do this. And once i quit, I even felt better. Hell, I even started paying attention to things outside of a bubble. The important thing I need the internet for, is keeping track of my government. And for that, I can impose restrictions on my government, not my internet. Heaven forbid I be forced to go talk to my neighbors. Heaven forbid I need to pay as much attention to my own town and state as I do national and international affairs. If people who got banned off Twitter, want a Twitter, they will find a way to make one. People use Twitter because it is there and it is free. It's a convenience that no-one really needs. WikiLeaks is more important than social media and it's current enemy is the government so no, I don't think giving the government more power over private entities is a good idea.
@Dan V it really is quite depressing... when people wake up it’ll be too late
@Grenade123 the point isn’t about individuals explicitly. It’s about the collective suppression of individual rights by non governmental organisations that you should care about. Companies who have no one to answer to and no one to keep them in line.
Perhaps more people need to get banned off Twitter so more people are working on decentralizing things before it's too late and the government steps in, makes it a public utility, and makes decentralized version of the internet and social media illegal
Companies answer to money. Piss off enough people, that money goes away.... Unless its money from taxes. Aka the government
Honestly, social media is a cancer.
Nad I agree they answer to money but people are stupid
They’re happy to surrender their security and freedom for ease of use
^
A company cannot suppress a human right. Unless they force you to use their service.
Someone they don’t like gets banned and they cheer... not realising that what they’re cheering for is a precedence of privatised tyranny.
Last I checked, no one forced me to use twitter.
You’re missing the point
What? That if I make something popular enough you want to take away my ownership of it and hand it to he government?
>Advocate a society without rules
>Ban someone for breaking the rules
No one forced you to use the public square in the day either but it was left untouched so if you wanted to you could
The thing is about twitter.
If you're an entrepreneur trying to create/promote/crowdfund ANYTHING, everyone and their dog will tell you to get a twitter.
It was owned by the government, and as such we put restrictions on the government.
"Social media bro. Social media bro."
"That's where it's at bro"
They ruled that Trumps Twitter was a public space but ban people from Twitter for vague non things like hate speech
I despise twitter. I think it's a shit service that turns people into cannibals.
