I don’t think it’s that each of the elements of what Twitter does won’t be recreated, but the essence of Twitter, the je ne sais quio won’t. Whatever you want to call it, the town square we all participate in. It will be recreated in the aggregate, but that won’t be the same.

Deny reality of what?

I don’t really understand the rest of your post, I guess your alleging they government violated the first amendment. Ok, what’s the next steps then?

>It is stunning to me that so many otherwise intelligent people do not see the problem with big tech colluding with government officials and intelligence agencies to brazenly attempt to distort and censor public discourse - especially right before an election.

You took a giant leap from maybe people at Twitter were acting with bias. You’d need a lot more information to justify this assertion, and who is saying this wouldnt be a problem? I al saying this didn’t happen, not it wouldn’t be a problemZ

> every sphere of culture.

Please clarify because absolutelutes are too easily disproven.

Yes exactly! They asked all the right questions then realized they didn’t have justification and it was a mistaken, apologize and I hope learned from the incident. And will react faster in the future. But this is the point. They made a mistake, fine but no one said “hey, I hate Trump, maybe we should keep this down”

Never make moderation mistakes can’t be the standard.

But your point is the point as to why it’s not hubris! they weren’t trying to censor anything, they were just trying to follow their own moderation policies. This I think is why the censorship story is such a non issue, because Twitter is not an exclusive source of this information.

What did Twitter do to S&P?

> 97%+ Twitter employee donations were to Democrats?

So what’s the principle here? What’s the plan. Which companies should have to disclose the political contributions of their employees and what should they do if it’s unbalanced at more than say 60-40, randomly fire employees until it’s back in line?

Have they talked any further about releasing the algorithm? I know that was one of Musks goals

I saw that part and thought it was curious he glossed over it, I look forward to more detail in the future.

I didn’t read details about their apology, what makes you say that?

A day of deliberation is not a strong culture of censorship.

Pedophiles are bad period they’re a problem everywhere and it’s weird to try and make it partisan.
