Plans for future armed protests have already begun proliferating on and off-Twitter, including a proposed secondary attack on the US Capitol and state capitol buildings on January 17, 2021.
I don't like to bandy the word 'snowflake' around too much these days due to its overuse but I reckon your friend would definitely qualify under the original definition.
You get butthurt about black Americans wanting to be treated like human beings despite being a Brit living in Korea. Also you got butthurt about Trump's "freedom of speech" after he got banned by Twitter (a private company) for inciting domestic terrorism.Quit being a snowflake.
He has a point.
Yes, I guess Xi can tweet too.
Pretty bad day for freedom of speech too. No matter what you think about Trump.
I think you need to read up on what freedom of speech entails. Having freedom of speech does not entail the freedom to incite violence. Many Supreme Court cases upholding restrictions on speech believed to be subversive have relied on the idea that such speech is forbidden because it incites, or is likely to lead to, violence or illegal actions.
True freedom of speech does not entail incitement to violence and if Trump did this he should be taken to task. My issue,was whether Twitter should be acting as a publisher or a platform as someone else I think DM pointed out.
Neither the Ayatollah nor Xi incited an insurrection at the Capitol building last Wednesday where five people lost their lives, including a police officer.I guess Twitter believes Trump is a greater threat to National security at present based on the available evidence. Does this help to alleviate the confusion?
