The reality is that Twitter has to have standards and it’s not going to be as simple as people want it to be, nor is Musk going to be able to please everyone with them.stokesjokes wrote: ↑April 25th, 2022, 9:22 pm It will be interesting to see where he wants to set the standards. Obviously he’s not gonna let obscene violence or porn be posted, but what about violent threats? Violent rhetoric? Hate speech (and against who)? Any restrictions on Fake News©?Define “fake news”? ……and that’s where the trouble starts. Hate speech? Maybe avoid racial slurs but that’s also hard to define. Violent rhetoric? A bit easier but still not easy.
