There is no such thing as an advertiser-driven free speech social media network. Advertisers will never be associated with free speech. That is a cold hard fact. If you want free speech, you need to pay for it out of your own pocket.

I used to hold that opinion, but I've watched my state be taken over by foreigners and my country be ideologically taken over by communists. I no longer believe that liberalism is the highest priority in government policy.

@draketheduelist If advertisers are paying for it, how is that free?

@AClockworkHellcat It's both really. These left-wing sites could have stood their ground against the leftists and demanded that the advertisers grew a bit of a spine as well but they didn't. At the same time, the advertisers jumped on board with the leftist agenda and started pandering to them with the communist propaganda. We see it in every commercial now. They seem to think twitter is real life or at least advertise like it is. Common sense is completely gone on social media platforms at the executive level.

@draketheduelist It used to just be an issue of bad manners and local business. If you said a bad word, nobody really heard about it. These days everyone knows every word you've ever said and every thought you've ever expressed, nuance be damned. Even if you were being ironic and it wasn't coming across well because it was in text, it's there forever because it's on the internet. This is causing a cultural divide. We have people who want to over-react to this and throw people out of society or even into actual prison for thought crime. Then we have people who think that everyone should be able to insult everyone on the planet and say anything they want without consequences. Clearly neither is going to happen but we're stuck between these two extremes. The companies are heavily pushing in the censorious direction because they think it is safe, but at the same time they are pushing very offensive child abuse stuff and racial division. This cannot last forever. Something is going to break in this current system. Ultimately there is going to have to be a model of morality that is asserted and people are going to have to roughly assimilate to it. There can be alternatives, but it is going to be clear that they are fringe alternatives. The main problem is that nobody agrees what that morality is because our sense of morality has been completely destroyed by the constant subversion of the left over the last 50 years or so. I would argue that you don't need p*rn on social media, but it's hard to argue where the line is on what constitutes p*rn. Is a woman in a bikini p*rn? Is a woman eating a banana p*rn? Is a child breastfeeding over the line? What about nude pictures of medical content? Do you just just ban all nudity? Do people get around that restriction by blurring the genitals in p*rn? Is suggestive moaning p*rn? So much is left up to human interpretation that even a single issue gets bogged down in specifics. It would be much easier to allow it all but if you've ever been to a site that does allow it all you'd know that it devolves into constant racist nonsense and fetish porn. It's demoralizing and everything else of value is squeezed out.
