Plenty of historical data showing that. Why don't we let serial killers out of prison so people can see what they're about, reject their ways, and put them back in? Well except for their new victims. For them it will be too late.

You know some of the people who were let back on, were banned for inciting violence that got people killed, right? If these companies followed morals instead of money, these people would have been banned long before it got to the point where people got killed. But nope, they'll do anything to boost "engagement".

Because you give them an opportunity to fail under "the new management". Then when they are banned again, they have no legitimate argument to fall back on.
"You got a 2nd chance, you pissed it away. Don't come back."
Mmm kay. Why don't we give serial killers a second chance to fail under every new administration then?

Hey, I'm just listing out what's happening. Not passing judgement, that's for all the armchair QBs here.

And silence is violence, and 2+2=5.
Interesting times we live in where frog memes are compared to Mein Kampf and pointing out flaws in the narrative is “terrorism”.
It’s really quite tiring.

Aside from being a digital bulletin board for those professionals with public personas, I always considered Twitter a platform for blowhards, windbags, and trolls.

Incitement to violence is a criminal offense in every civilized nation. And also in the United States. It is legally distinct from murder, so your statement is technically correct, but irrelevant.
Yeah - but when we have dumbed it down so much that refusing to use preferred pronouns is now considered "violence" - it becomes very problematic.
Attacks on elected officials that were fomented on social media don't have anything to do with pronouns.

So you acknowledge that Senator Paul was attacked by domestic terrorists who organized on Twitter 2 and a half years ago.
What about people who aren’t elected officials? Don’t they matter too?
Yes. For the record, I don't ever remember being asked about this incident specifically but if I was asked about it I wouldn't have denied that it happened.
Yes. Nobody should be fomenting physical attacks against anyone on social media (although I'd probably make an exception for war time scenarios, but in war, it's generally not a good idea to tip off your enemy to your plans and I don't think the Ukrainian army is going to actively plan attacks on Twitter because the Russians can read what they're writing too).
Meet the new boss,There's no effing problem here! Incitement to actual violence (beatings, murder, rape, etc.) is a crime and should not be allowed on social media or anywhere else. If you really and truly cannot tell the difference between incitement to actual physical violence and what a few people on the fringe label as "violence" because it's disrespectful, then you have a problem. The rest of us can tell the difference and the neo-nazis that Musk has reinstated on Twitter are inciting to actual physical violence.
Literally the first time that has been said about a Dave Rubin tweet…

So "Florida Man" thinks Elon is funny and is fighting the good fight to fix "woke".
Moronic at best. He's talking about what a mess people there say the software is in, but I can't see the slightest indication he knows anything about software.
I wouldn't mind seeing Twitter go away altogether. It's a cesspool of lunatics and negativity for the most part. And a great tool for making a few loud voices making it look like there's mass outrage about things no one really seems to care about it. I know Elon's trying, but it doesn't seem like it's changed all that much.
