No. You should not find ways to circumvent people's blocks even if you really, really disagree with them. If someone takes steps to prevent you from having contact with them, you should not force that contact. Applies even to people who you think morally reprehensible.

It’s a normal part of twitter though. To screenshot a tweet & argue against it if you are blocked. It’s not forcing an interaction. It’s arguing points without interacting. I can see why you might disagree with this, though. But it is something quite common on twitter

I do disagree with it. I have always disagreed with forcing contact but I now disagree with getting past blocks too because of an escalating problem where people think they have right of access to people they strongly disagree with. Gonna publish on this in a few days.

doesnt this stifle free discussion and speech though? i thought you were big on that whole thing?

The idea behind free discussion and debate is that people who want to talk to each other about things should be able to. If someone doesn't want to talk to someone else, they shouldn't have to.

and they dont but i should still be able to criticise their ideas even without them responding or ever having to see my posts because theyve blocked me. What's wrong with that?

They have taken steps not to communicate their ideas to you. You have no ethical right to listen in on people who have not included you in their conversation. You have no right of access to other people's ideas unless communicated on a public forum which is open to you.

It;s semi-public. It includes various options for making account private and being selective about who can see your tweets.

and if you go private? or post it in a dm group? fair enough. i have no right to force access to that. but if you just post it on twitter into the public sphere then even if you've blocked me i should be allowed to criticise it - as long as im not abusive of course.

We'll just have to disagree on that.
