    ...if Jack from Twitter is running a platform that actively caters to racists, fascists, etc. why do so many culturally prominent people continue to use it? If it's that flagrantly bad, wouldn't the only morally tenable thing be to abandon the platform?

        There's a private beach to which the public is allowed access. My neighbors and I go there, have a nice time, and get along reasonably well. Nazis show up at the beach. The private property owner won't kick out the Nazis. I am my neighbors are supposed to leave the beach?

        F-that. I'm going FIRST try to shame the property owner into kicking the Nazis off the beach while simultaneously working with my neighbors to make the Nazis feel as uncomfortable on the beach as possible. When Nazis showed up with all their insignia and bonfires they WANTED

        No - first, " actively caters" is different from harbors. Second, if Twitter is like a digital public square, the moral action is to protect the commons with broadly approved and applied policies, not abandon it.

        Whoa Lauren. Extreme violence like that are against twitter’s terms of service. @mtracey almost lost his life in that exchange.

        Haven’t you spent the past two days equating YouTube with the public domain and InfoWars’ removal a free speech issue? Now you think people should remove themselves instead of demand that hate speech and fascism be eradicated from the public domain? 🤔

        I continue to use this platform, because Google Play/iOS have blocked all third-party apps that would compete with it. This thing would be My Space if not for all the anti-trust violations.
