The question whether the content of speech is protected needs to be separated from whether spam bots are protected. The ruling you are quoting is talking about a law being overly broad. It's not saying spam bots are protected as such.
Never experience that on Twitter but I can see how it can happen. Seen plenty of that on FB. I dealt with one myself - impersonating my business. In my case, FB is pretty much useless. The impersonator took it down themselves after they realize I was chasing and reporting them to every agencies (from FB to domain hosting site to local police). I agree Twitter has tons of potential and I think Musk would do wonder for it.
Btw, the reason no one replied to this post is because they can't. All of the free speech warriors are internet noobs that have no idea how this actually plays out but you are 100% correct. I wanted to highlight and repost this post because it was a nice takedown on the idea being pushed that absolute free speech is good for a platform. It isn't. That's why almost all platforms have the same rules...because it isn't. It's been tried, it has failed, and what always happens is your platform is run over by edgelord, p*rn, and spam. It's ironic because we're all posting on a place that has many of the same rules that twitter does regarding speech. The fact is, an absolute free speech platform is not profitable but not only that, it's dangerous. If it weren't dangerous than we'd allow Jihadists to run freely on these platforms. We don't. None of the free speech absolutists stand up for their rights of free speech though.
There are certain lines that should be drawn, obviously. The trouble with the current platforms is that the algo's intentionally push engagement. The reality is negative discourse brings more engagement than anything positive (or as Gen Z likes to say, wholesome). Personally, I would love a twitter that does not push anything political nonsense. That is unfortunately a large share of Twitters activity.
I agree. My suggestion would be for people to opt-in to political posts and users just like you have to opt-in to seeing adult content on Twitter. Kind of push political twitter off to the side and let the normal people meme on KAT having 4 FGAs for a decisive playoff game.
Elon owning Bill Gates. I met Bill Gates a couple of times. Must not trust that guy. Not a good person, in my opinion.
Musk wants to make the algo's open source for everyone to see. Its really hard to label a tweet. What I dont like is Twitter pushing tweets into my feed from people I do not follow or adjacent. I want a low cost subscription model that I can filter out every person who does not have a subscription.
Lol all these Twitter employees who hate Elon are about to work at second hand stores Selling raspberry berets @rocketsjudoka
I would ask you the same thing. You've turned a strange turn my friend. What's the best German international news source in english? I think DW was the last one I looked at.
