Should TAN ban X?

Sorry for being silly in the presence of greatness

Lmao I donā€™t use twitter or any other social media like FB etc, but people who do and post content on here allows me to view what they have shared it can bring enjoyment, information and other stuff which I can view and appreciate what others have brought to share .

Also whatā€™s with the ā€œcoming from youā€ seriously maybe reacquaint yourself with the rules of personal attacks because that line is not called for

Thereā€™s a difference between supporting and the at best unethical, at worst criminal actions heā€™s taken to do so.

Not only that, thereā€™s also the disinformation that heā€™s amplified that contributed to the racist riots in recent weeks, or have you forgotten that too?

Thereā€™s free speech, and thereā€™s not having to deal with the consequences of that speech.

Because in a discussion about a social media platform your first position was ā€œOMG liberals are censoring everything!!1!ā€.

And then you cry foul about dragging other things into a debate.

Thatā€™s why.

No; you can obtain your LFC news from other sources, such as the official website.

It appears that those defending X in this thread are citing the fact that the news is posted there first, even before on official websites.

Whatā€™s with the clamour to be first? Canā€™t you wait a few minutes? Your wives/partners must love you lotā€¦

Thatā€™s such a simplistic take on this situation, not to mention completely wrong.

Thatā€™s not true. The official site tends to be where they post first, but if you refresh at the wrong time and/or donā€™t get push notificationsā€¦

Not at all, I just feel there is an agenda here that you and others wonā€™t admit.

In regards to "dragging other things into it "

Really? You dragged the fucking S*n into it to score points to garnish support

You really have no self-awareness, do you?

Just to get this back on track. Could someone try posting a link to a story from Threads? I donā€™t have an account and I am interested to see if it previews as I live in the EU.

It would appear you donā€™t either

I have nothing against banning X or have X as I donā€™t read or use it. But I am against banning a platform just because some thinks it does not agree with them. And also to bring up S*n is ridiculous. That rag has affected us directly as a club and this is a LFC forum so of course itā€™s ban is warranted unlike X.

Sure thatā€™s why this world is in a mess because always others who are wrong, never their take.

Would you care to spell out exactly what you think this agenda is?

Iā€™m not sure I see that, you made a point about censorship, and @ZinedineBiscan rightly responded with the obvious example of what we censor on here. So the issue isnā€™t that there shouldnā€™t be censorship, the question is where the line is drawn. Which for you is a political matter, but for me, itā€™s a matter of shouting ā€œfireā€ in a crowded theatre.

Again, itā€™s not just because of Musk. Posting tweets drastically affects the forumā€™s performance.

Jesus wept, how many times do I have to repeat the same thing?

OK, that worked well. I donā€™t see Joyceā€™s picture but the content is there. This has a picture.

Does it, only X does that? Not technical so I leave it for comments from others.

Looks like pictures donā€™t preview then.

No, I am often wrong. But trying to make this about left vs right is quite clearly wrong.

Itā€™s not left vs right here. Itā€™s about the fact that Musk has quite clearly taken steps to use the platform to amplify his own dangerous views. Maybe from your own little part of the world you donā€™t see the consequences, but in the UK weā€™ve already seen how this has led to widespread riots.
