@skountouros @RickiTarr Did she mean the window shade wouldn't open?

@jxf Their quality control also allows sellers to file lawsuits against customers for posting bad reviews, so...

@NPR Still trying to make a horse race out of a coked-up frontrunner?

@drahardja By that logic, you're currently enjoying an electric slave version of the pony express.

@christowski Why is a header image that important for an article? The writing is what matters. The image is just window dressing.

I'll take a well-written article with crappy AI images over clickbait with a custom photo any day.

@ThinkingSapien She needs to learn that getting fired for stupid opinions is half the fun of having stupid opinions.

@strypey True censorship is bad. But what you're calling censorship is just another exercise of free speech that ought to be protected.

@strypey The difference between the two is that government can force you to do something, at threat of jail or violence.

All the "cancel mobs" can do is criticize and threaten to take their business elsewhere (which is their free speech right).

@strypey Any government forcing them to moderate (or not to moderate) would absolutely violate their free speech rights.

But public pressure (or "cancel mobs") is just more free speech. They can choose to bow to it or not, as their own free speech.

@RnDanger @cc587 I have some domain knowledge (I fly smaller planes and check every bolt before I fly each time). I know it doesn't apply 1:1 to the big jets, but it does apply to some extent.

I'm not saying it isn't Boeing's fault. I'm saying we should wait for the opinion of the expert investigators before laying blame.

@strypey I hadn't heard of it before. It doesn't matter here, where our free speech protections are robust.

@strypey Lmao, that's such nonsense. You have a right to speech, not amplification, and especially not amplification with a megaphone owned by someone else. You can still hand out pamphlets or give speeches. You can even create your own website and audience.

But you don't have a free speech right to a Facebook account, and nobody is violating your rights by asking you to leave their property.
