As for OP, freedom of speech is fine, doesn't mean there shouldn't be consequences for what you say though.

Let's be honest twitter was and still is a cesspit. The woke mob / left wing can literally say what they like and it's fine. As soon as someone with right wing thought says something that is actual facts they get banned.

The study team scrutinized their subjects’ appetite for sharing misinformation, meaning provably false content such as phony COVID-19 cures or QAnon conspiracy theories. The researchers found that the Republican Twitter users shared “substantially more news from misinformation sites.” (Misinformation sites had been labeled as untrustworthy by either professional fact-checking organizations or surveys of politically balanced and demographically representative laypeople.)

“Critically,” the researchers said, “we found that users’ misinformation sharing was as predictive of suspension as was their political orientation. Thus, the observation that Republicans were more likely to be suspended than Democrats provides no support for the claim that Twitter showed political bias in its suspension practices. Instead, the observed asymmetry could be explained entirely by the tendency of Republicans to share more misinformation.”

Musk will ban people for telling the truth. Doesn’t fit his version of free speech.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
no, i think he's a republican so he wont be interested in truth.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
......or be Sniffer Joe and Fraudci? ''Safe and effective'', ''You won't get Covid''.............''C'mon maaaan''.
Look at what's now happening?

Sadly you'll never understand how easy YOU make it for THEM.
That's a shame for the rest of us.

Hi Tux. Good to see you.

Can you link me to the data you have about people taking the Covid vaccine dying earlier than those who don't? Thanks

TUX is like a celebrity who doesn’t respond to individual fan requests. It’s almost… like he doesn’t actually have any facts to back up his feelings.

This is the problem with these nutters. They don’t understand the difference between bias and fact checking dangerous content.

We shouldn't tolerate the intolerant. By definition, doing so will destroy any semblance of a tolerant society we already have.

The thin veil you describe is not understanding what freedom of speech actually means, as Winston so helpfully points out - as a concept in the constitution of the US it was never meant to protect hate speech, incitement to violence etc.

Ignoring that for a minute and saying that we should be engaging those that want to have discourse about things that are offensive or patently false, why? If we as a society reject them as offensive and untrue what value is there to be had discussing them?

We'd do better educating people properly and stopping those in positions of power misusing their power to spread lies for personal gain

Musk for me is a shinning light and hopefully will allow all kinds of speech.

I’m all for freedom of speech. I have my beliefs and am happy for someone to insult them. It’s their right and that’s fine. The issue is there are people who are incredibly sensitive and get triggered too easily.

Musk for me is a shinning light and hopefully will allow all kinds of speech. Censorship does not work
----------------------------------------------------------------------
People could just wear shin pads I guess then that would render Musk ineffective

Is everything the internet has to offer not big enough for you bud????????????

Ask the ONS.
Ask an insurance company.
Ask an actuary.
Ask an undertaker.
Finally ask yourself what evidence that you saw with your very own eyes that led the world to be shut down for the first time in known history?

But you won't because that'd make you wrong. Good to see you too

I'm asking you because you said you have seen the data and that you were trying to help.

You wouldn't lie about having data would you? Please share if you have it because I don't have time to ask all those people.

Facts abound bud. My feelings are irrelevant.
I just try to help the blinkered to make sense of all this sh@t
Ausjailia undergoing even more draconian laws as we speak?
A proud country that was once 50% hard working Sheilas is now 75% blinkered Karens?

I thought Karen was on your side? You're getting confused Tux.

Anyway. Whenever you've got a minute a link to one of these places on the internet I can find the data you're talking about would be great. Thanks

"Facts abound bud"

Provides zero facts.

Also has Australia ever been known for being hard working?
