A default to free expression left unchecked can generate risks and dangers for people. It’s important Twitter distinguishes between people’s opinions and behaviors, and disarms behavior intending to silence another person, or adversely interfere with their universal human rights.

Hey dude. I live in St Louis and you know it's great your parents could debate, but I'm sorry, that doesn't equate to both sides having value. St Louis like most major cities has a huge racial and economical divide.
-
You can debate all you want, but things like racism, hate, misogyny aren't cool or right and no one needs to hear their side. So it's great you think this story makes you a pious individual, but all it shows is how little you understood of the world around you growing up and now
-
As a fellow St. Louisan, I can just guess where he went to high school. And its a real douchey catholic boys school.
-
I just don't understand how someone who's grown up in a city where you can so readily see the effects of racism and bigotry can make the statements he does. I can't figure out if he's just really naive and believes what he says, is willfully ignorant or just rotten at his core.
-
I’d go with the latter.

If only times were that simple. But they’re not. None of this is about just a married couple with differing political leanings. It’s so much more and you know it.
-
Yes, yes they are that simple. Nothing has changed, outside of people acting like mobs. And mobs are not new. They have been around far longer since the beginning and they’re purely there to pass power between elites.
-
This is incorrect. Cultural paradigms have shifted dramatically since the advent of the internet. Information is being shared on a scale never seen before. Allowing hatred on any platform is a huge mistake, as it can spread far more easily, under any guise.
-
Last note: If you strongly disagree with a person. That doesn’t mean that they’re speaking hate. It just means that they’re speaking about something you strongly disagree with. It is up to the DOJ to establish what hate speech is. The term is used far, FAR to loosely.
-
Except people are specifically asking for hate speech and those who use it to be removed from Twitter. This isn't a difficult concept.
-
This isn’t new and one person, organization, or group doesn’t have the ‘power’ to rewrite any part of our democracy. That’s what makes freedoms so desirable. The Marxist may as well be a religion, because their morality politics are pure trash.

I take it one parent never threatened the other one then, and if they did, when police were called, they didn't say "Nope, soz, this thing that is obviously terroristic threatening doesn't violate our TOS. Have you thought about blocking the offender?"

nice to hear you're having childhood flashbacks when half your userbase is taunting the other half about how they're going to put them in ovens

Pretty telling that the breadth of your experience on issues like this doesn't extend beyond the boundaries of your own childhood household.
