What he did today is thousand times better than shelling money behind the charity that many billionaires doing. Under Elon twitter can enable true "freedom of expression." Parag's one sided stand to enable woke culture, and board's support to that clearly showing how extreme right mindset they have when running this company. Today we can't hear the voice of other side on this platform, they are either shutdown or suspended even if you are former prez https://twitter.com/jack/status/651003891153108997


If the former prez is someone who blatantly and consistently violates Twitter policy, then good riddance.


I think it's hard to say whether idiocy/hatred is more dangerous in the spotlight or in the shadows.


Freedom of expression does not mean tolerating outright lies and bigotry and harm on a non-government-owned/controlled platform. So Trump, since you decided to not say his name for some reason, was rightly kicked off the platform after being warned numerous times about his policy violations.

It's funny how people seem to think that such freedoms extend beyond the boundary of government and into the private sector (publicly-traded company or not). They do not. They never have. Twitter can set whatever rules they wish and the chips may fall where they will, despite what @jack may say. You are free to choose a different platform to support.

But don't sit there and think that the "other side" is somehow oppressed because you simply disagree with the policies of Twitter.
