You can't blame trolls for being trolls and bullies for being bullies if platforms like Twitter do little to discourage them.

You can’t expect foreigners using American systems to understand American free speech. Let’s stop You’re-a-peon-izing American corporations & American services. If we need Censorship-Web, let’s build it in Europe & stop demanding that U.S. companies serve a neo-fascist agenda...

I only ask because our people are falling hard for this line of reasoning & many “United Statesians” now desperately want to strongly curtail speech online!

There isn't a free speech issue here frankly. There is very little that is not more effective stated with mutual respect and civility. Moreover, Twitter is a private business, not a government body. It can enforce a code of conduct like most American corporations.

PS: I’m not saying you’re the foreigner who misunderstands free speech! It’s just that twitter (& its Java community) is so internationalized. Most people in the world still don’t have free speech and certainly don’t understand its value (I’m looking at you, Australia & Canada).

I think this most certainly is a free speech issue. Just had a Facebook conversation with a friend who was so upset about some fake “incel” movement that he was calling for an end to all “unmoderated forums” like Reddit. Americans are being severely dumbed down by foreign powers.

To this friend of mine, “incel” movement participants weren’t trolls with persona management botnets, they were fledgling racist neo-Nazis.
