Yes  great idea,  ban Twitter  because you dont like what some  people  say 

Like these admired and prestigious bastions of  freedom and human rights 

Is it actually free speech when a significant number of said posts come from bots? Once nobody can spot an actual human opinion, you're just polluting the discussion.

Thats one way Twitter is used, I question how much influence Twitter really has on peoples views outside of reaffirming confirmation bias and  some people basically not bothering to do any real research on subjects and using Twiiter as a reference 

But Twitter is often used in third world countries as the  main tool to galvanize support for protest action, it has a very positive purpose in countries where there are serious human rights infringements or issues around political and basic freedom 

Im not talking about Western first world countries like the USA and Canada, your freedoms are enshrined and Twitter will never get banned

A dirty NYC cop???

I never would have thought 

Maybe wait for the trial and see if  the " dirty NYC cop " is actually dirty

 

I really like Adams and I will be very disappointed if he is found  guilty of corruption

"In the US Congress, Florida Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar, a Republican, mentioned Musk and de Moraes by name last week when she introduced legislation that would punish foreign officials who violate the First Amendment rights of Americans by denying them entry into the United States. "

I guess Americans should be ok to violate other countries' hate speech laws?
