You’re over simplifying it. Rational opposing voices were being canceled simply because the mods on twitter didn't want any message other than the ones they endorsed getting out, and it wasn’t just twitter. That should be troubling no matter which viewpoint you have.

The problem was anything that wasn’t backing the state was considered “misinformation” and being cancelled in various discrete actions by Twitter employees. “Twitter Files” exposed the internal workings on how the social media application was being utilized as a liberal propaganda weapon.

Yes and no. I agree with your thought though.

Just went over to X looking for Tesla news (going to get me a M3 performance, the new one, yet to be announced). 95% of the feed was videos taken of horrible crimes in really bad neighborhoods followed by thousands of really racist posts trying to make sense of the senseless videos. In days past nobody would have seen these kinds of things (except criminals and combat veterans). Empathy, justice and a search for understanding are characteristics that are hard-wired into humans. Fewer people understand addiction. Outrage can trigger a dopamine hit. I hope we are getting smarter; realizing that yes, terrible stuff happens, but our world and the vast majority of the world is pretty damn great. Further, we do have the power to make it better and do something good, because we are good.

Truly, one of the things I like about our business is the way it brings all kinds of people together. Interacting with all kinds of people is fun and interesting. Isn't that what travel is all about?

Racial tensions are not that high. People are getting smarter about tuning out the politicians and those paid for keeping our attention. I think people are getting smarter. Since moderation has been removed X has seen a 55% decline in revenue on a 13% decline in active users.

Hey Buck those are liberal run city’s and those crackhead criminals are the victims of liberal policies. I’ll say it again. They’re VICTIMS of Democratic policies.

It’s awesome this is finally being exposed to the public and not censored to hide failed policies. I have X, racial posts are still being removed and accounts banned. Tweeting, “look at these thugs” is not racist. Capitalizing W on White and not capitalizing B on black is not racist. You’re just a softy little Buck. I have no problem with that letter to Delta employees btw. We have to be extra careful to small minded individuals like you that get all in your feelings. Our customers pay the bills at the end of the day.

I’ll be waiting for your emotional response where you get all in your feelings again because someone doesn’t think EXACTLY like you.

I can’t tell if this entire post was sarcasm or not

The letter was probably necessary because you had confusion from our employees on how to not unintentionally offend someone. Following AP standard is just an official defense from when someone inevitably gets offended by referring to them as “Black” instead of “black”. Interesting enough as a “Black” man myself I’d find it more alarming if someone referred to me using the capital B instead of a lower case b. It reads as if you’re empathizing the fact I’m a specific skin color. The fact Delta needs to create a fall back for any of this is absolutely pathetic.

And it still amazes me after all these years how there's so much focus at the beginning of a Presidential election year on what a few very senior men and women in Iowa think.

oh my God, I hope this is sarcasm, if not…..sweet Christ, get a grip.

Its a media event for the benefit of the echo chamber media. No one else cares.

If an article gets published in a forest of nonsense and no one reads it, does it make a sound?
