    I agree with Jack. I think Jones is a fuck face who offers nothing in good faith to public discourse. But if he violates the TOC of a platform, he deserves to be kicked off. Otherwise, he’s still in.

    I am interested in learning how Twitter is preventing crap tweets from being artificially amplified. Maybe FB should tune in to the details.

    If people like Sarah Jeong get to stay, then nobody should have a problem with Alex being there.

      Once again, I think we all agree regardless of political leaning that the important thing is to balance the protection speech while preventing real-world harm caused by intentionally harmful speech. You might say that Jeong’s words were “hateful” (putting aside the fact that a few tweets at one point in the distant past obviously are not a valid comparison against the core of someone’s entire lifelong career) but as I asked before, can you point to any hint or suggestion that they may have led to violent and destructive behavior in the real world? That’s the standard here, not “someone said something I don’t like”. People are going around shooting in pizza restaurants and all kinds of other violent acts based on things they heard on Infowars and its allies. Can you point to any evidence that anyone is going around being violent because of a couple of tweets from Jeong?

      And yes. If you’re getting your panties in a twist over words like “groveling goblins” you’re a real snowflake :-)
