It is interesting how much influence Peter Thiel has on the main players of social media: via Facebook as an early investor and ex-board member and via Twitter with his ex-coworker from Paypal days Musk. He’s very explicit in his book about the power of monopolies and now you see this consolidation of social media companies under a specific group of closed people. WSJ reported Thiel being involved with Musk on this t…

They problem is that Trump also said he wanted the protestors to be peaceful. We don't know what he intended. For you to pretend you do is nonsense.

Now, where Trump is guilt is his actions after the events started. He should have within minutes been calling for it to stop and doing all he could to get police or national guard there to help. This is where I wish the impeachment investigation would have gone, sadly that was a rushed mess.

I think that mob incitement is an excuse used for selective enforcement of the rules. If you're on the left, you're clearly operating under different rules: https://twitter.com/LoriLightfoot/status/1523844510735908864

Yeah, that's equivalent to "stand back, and stand by" /s

https://nypost.com/2022/05/10/chicagos-lori-lightfoot-urges-... One rules for me, others for thee, no? Disclaimer: Trump also made a massive mistake by suggesting what he suggested.

We have had years of these social media "who deserves to get banned" discussions. Not once has it been a good counter-argument to post someone else seemingly breaking rules getting away with it. It rarely, extremely rarely, is a response to someone who actually has power to perform moderation. It implies that the person you are replying to is somehow biased towards something or someone when in reality

a) it's likely they have never heard of this counter-argument case you are linking, and

b) even if they have heard about it they are not a member of SocialMediaSite's content moderation team.
