Just trying to start that conversation, but I agree with what Elon Musk "says" he wants to do: a town square of free speech, even within a private company. Of course he could be full of s*** and just trying to build a Musk-wing echo chamber.
When you give nazis space, any space, they show up to fill it. And it never stays there. It ALWAYS spreads. It always goes somewhere else looking different, but it's always the same thing.
I would argue that they have spaces anyway, like Gab and 8chan. I suppose I want even the most exact-opposite and extreme viewpoints on Twitter so I can unleash fury on them. I'm a big believer in "debate rather than delete." We'll see how many on our side will be like me in wanting to engage or even troll them.
you will never find more wretched hive of scum and villainy

8CHAN, PARLER, AND GAB. YOU WILL NEVER FIND MORE WRETCHED HIVES OF SCUM AND VILLAINY. TWITTER WARS; I actually agree with Elon Musk on having a much less restrictive Twitter. Even letting Nazis back on. I'd rather have insult-heavy debates with them instead of just deleting them from Twitter. I'd rather potential recruits have a chance to see counterarguments rather than see them get censored off into smaller platforms. A huge and chaotic marketplace of ideas could possibly accomplish more than an echo chamber. Thoughts?
