I finally started to watch television a little after almost twenty years' abstinence. This morning the BBC covered Elon Musk buying Twitter as a bad thing and interviewed some young woman who explained that extreme speech silenced marginalised minorities. No counter-view was presented. Journalists on the BBC and the left-wing press hate free speech which is perverse if you think about it.
A Facebook friend in England quoted James Clayton, BBC Tech correspondent, commenting on Elon Musk’s buy up of Twitter. TWITTER WILL BE FREE BUT UGLY AND POISONOUS, OPEN TO HATESPEECH AND DISINFORMATION TOTALLY AGAINST THE DIRECTION OF TRAVEL OF WESTERN DEMOCRACY
Edward Perez, director of product management for societal health at Twitter, tweeted thirteen hours ago:If you're wondering what employees think, I can only speak for myself: It's a time of genuine discomfort & uncertainty. Most of us believe deeply that Twitter is much more than a tech platform; we have a deep responsibility to society. I hope our new owner gets that.
