this guy is 100% committed to give nazis a platform, right?
I think you mean — speech you don't like. Where do you draw the line?
it’s sometimes hard to remember there are people who take that view.
Many people have this view. Us on the Fedi are unique in that we don't, or didn't before the mass Twitter émigré occurred.
Afraid to learn something you didn't before? Such a silly attitude!
Too bad most commenting haven't read the interview (what else is new, eh?). I like this, Jack Dorsey responding to a question on how the US government had its hooks into Twitter's leadership before the buyout:
I think it was problematic, and I also don't think the people who got called out in the Twitter Files get enough credit for pushing back on government requests. The U.S. is certainly one of them. Twitter has a track record of fighting the U.S. on free speech causes, especially around transparency reports. Opening the lens even broader to other governments, we had even more fights. Tons of fights with India, Turkey, Russia, Nigeria. These are all governments that threatened arrest of our employees, raided our employees' homes, offices, asking for phone numbers and personal information for accounts that were critical of the governments. I think that was one part that's overlooked and not appreciated.

What does this even mean? You're not making sense. On our borders??
Yeah, it usually synonymous with 'right wing' but they are a bonafide left wing site. Not liberal or neoliberal tho. Same with Glenn Greenwald. The people that don't agree with his writing are often fellow left-wingers, who claim he's ultra-right. The funny thing is, to anyone who has known or followed him for several years, knows he's the opposite. Politics isn't black & white, or shouldn't be, unless one is a party partisan — but often many shades of grey.
YW. I enjoy reading what's happening in the 'verse. Hopefully, more and more folks will notice that there's more to it than Mastodon.
Yup, like most corporate types in America.
We need to stop paying attention to what the Biden government says, and pay absolute attention to what they do! They're speaking out of both sides of their mouth, FFS!
Isn't ClamTK a GUI to ClamAV if I remember correctly?
The problem is that most of the blocking is simply because people don't like the speech. This is a huge concern for any liberal democracy. Free speech is a right, and that means speech that one doesn't necessarily like!
