I'm in favour of Twitter leaving bigoted ppl to speak so I can argue with them & to defend my own free speech.pic.twitter.com/tgcD6EdZ5V

Does it violate the principle of FS for a group of scientists to ban creationists from a private conference?

We have agreed that people can pick their own rules. We will agree with some & not with others.

Would that scenario violate the principle of freedom of speech that you have advocated?

Yes. A private conference on science would not include free speech. Nor do I argue that it shld. Its a private conference.

I am arguing for free speech on Twitter as an open forum for ppl to speak to anyone who chooses to follow them.

Oh, so there are caveats to this principle of freedom of speech. What if they employ a popular hashtag?

Yes! Its not suitable everywhere! I'd argue for ppl to be able to talk abt anal sex on Twitter. Not in a primary school.

I am just talking what I'd like to see Twitter do in relation to the kind of service Twitter offers.
