Elon’s got one thing going for him.

More than one actually, but Devin is still searching to be relevant.

I’ve made this argument here on FR. Any “virtual free PUBLIC space” should be required to allow the same free speech rules as any “physical free PUBLIC space”.

Musk was basically saying the level of speech regulation in social media should mirror that of First Amendment legal protections. They're obviously not controlled by the same legal rules, but they can still be guided by the same moral principles.

ESPECIALLY if the company wants to claim that they cannot be sued for being a mere conveyance of information, like the phone company.

I know someone who looks very much like Devin, and he's the biggest douchebag on the planet. They seem to have a lot in common.

I've heard it is a "soy boy" look. Effeminate males who don't measure up to actual men.

The make up for it by being a lot more lippy than a man would be unless he wants to get his @$$ beat.

First mistake...
Hate speech IS protected by the first amendment.

I didn’t have to read any further than that

“grade-school level of familiarity with the immensely complex concepts of free speech, censorship, rights and privileges of individuals and government authorities. “

Ummmm.... Isn’t this sort of thing exactly what’s taught in grade school?

I mean, I understood it in grade school. Anyone else ?

what is complicated about free speech?

I say we shut down TechCrunch and suddenly they will think the first amendment is “simple”

Between Elon and Devin, one of them certainly doesn’t.

It’s not Elon.

“…with the immensely complex concepts of free speech,“…

Yes, only elites are capable of understanding free speech. This isn’t delusion, it’s Evil. Period.
