@tbquirk @ijbailey I thought that was irresponsible but I don't understand why it suggests the free speech concerns weren't real. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ijbailey @elonmusk I strongly suspect it has chilled speech on the platform in unfortunate ways that would be mitigated by more clarity, consistency and transparency than has been offered so far. It has not violated the First Amendment or the law. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @MattWelch: Latest @wethefifth gathers the lads in the same room to talk World Cup, riots, fusion, Doug Ducey, Trump impressions, and… — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ijbailey @tbquirk Again what specific evidence would you have had me present about North Carolina's legislators? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ijbailey @tbquirk Okay what specifically is the evidence for that in your view? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@tbquirk @ijbailey What positive replies to alt-right accounts do you see as evidence that free speech concerns were "a smoke screen"? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@tbquirk @ijbailey What info was missing from my piece? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ijbailey @tbquirk I believe the correct journalistic posture about whether or not Musk or anyone else is uncertainty pending proof beyond a reasonable doubt. Many journalists seem to instead take a "go with my gut" approach. — PolitiTweet.org

@BlueHose1000 @DudeeeeeeNick @elonmusk That explanation would make sense as a reason to suspend all jet tracking accounts, a perfectly defensible rule. But do you think people reporting on the controversy about jet tracking accounts should be banned? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@BlueHose1000 @elonmusk As far as I can tell, the purpose of some accounts was to report on the controversy about whether flight location should be banned on Twitter or okay because it is public information, but it is hard to check since the Tweets are gone — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@BlueHose1000 @elonmusk Yes I agree. We can always find many hypocrites. Reacting as if they are the only ones that matter is a tragic mistake though — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@BlueHose1000 @elonmusk I never said that. I agreed with Elon's critique that speech was being over policed. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@fictionNAIme @elonmusk I don't object to him defending his family or to be honest removing Tweets that reveal people's locations, but this is like having a policy against using a slur and then banning people who were mentioning the slur while discussing the policy — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@fictionNAIme @elonmusk I am a fan of the Twitter files and look forward to what Bari and Matt produce next. More transparency is good. Suddenly banning a bunch of people for flight location posting seems unreasonable when you recently said this https://t.co/6JIfcnuJwk — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@redfoliot @elonmusk The host is the one who promised a public square where free speech reigned, not me. And I have no problem with rules against sharing location but this rollout of such a rule could hardly be more badly done. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@elonmusk Twitter will only be succeeding as something like a public square if and when the most engaging topic is something other than Twitter's approach to content moderation, which right now seems to change from day to day in ways I find hard to predict or understand. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@joedjoedonnelly @elonmusk (I agree it's not in fact a public square) — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@joedjoedonnelly @elonmusk In this way of thinking what was formerly public and then privatized by Twitter? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@IrishInSlope Erin: I had not seen that news when I sent that Tweet. Why are you so needlessly and reflexively hostile? At scale, it is exhausting. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@tbquirk Happy to engage. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@tbquirk My piece did not attempt to catalog what he has done well or poorly or just in general, so of course I did not do a good job of that. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@tbquirk I did not criticize Cobb for not devoting any space to why amnesty might be good. I criticized a different article for that because it *only* included reasons an amnesty might be bad. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@tbquirk That appears to be true... But I didn't criticize Cobb for writing that! — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@nhyphenc I agree that Musk is the main character of Twitter now in a way that wasn't true of anyone in the old regime and that isn't a good thing in my estimation — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@tbquirk That is framed as why amnesty might be a good idea and why many on Twitter supported it, not what Musk was really thinking, something we can't really know. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@tbquirk https://t.co/pjTOUDElfO — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@tbquirk I think my critique of Cobb--that Musk clearly wasn't saying no one would be banned for any reason--is looking stronger than ever! As for amnesty, here's what I wrote: — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@nhyphenc I'd prefer a platform that both refrained from censoring journalism and allowed links to competitors but I care way more about political neutrality than links to competitors as I presume there will never be competitive neutrality. It's a for profit business. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@nhyphenc Yes, I think censoring a newspaper story from an established publication reporting on a presidential election was very bad. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@AChillGhost @debdrens You are not a very chill ghost. — PolitiTweet.org
