@CJTheran @MereMultitude @drvolts @LiamKerrigan17 You are conflating the distinct questions of whether I like a joke and whether I think a joke should be suppressed — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@drvolts A long-standing publication that exclusively publishes satire seems like a pretty easy case for "yes this qualifies as satire," not an edge case. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@MereMultitude @drvolts @LiamKerrigan17 I have thought deeply about all of these questions. It seems to me that it is you who is oversimplifying them partly due to a failure of reflection about how tough they are. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
This is going to wind up being a classic example of the law of merited impossibility (that is, a seamless CW change from *of course that's not happening you conspiratorial nut* --> *of course they were always and absolutely should have been doing that*) — PolitiTweet.org

@MereMultitude @drvolts @LiamKerrigan17 I am not avoiding the specific case, which obviously falls under satire. I would not ban The Babylon Bee or The Onion or SNL skits or whatever — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@MereMultitude @drvolts @LiamKerrigan17 "It depends" is in fact the truthful answer--I would not have an overall rule on misgendering because in my estimation some instances of it, like those done to harass, are valueless, while others, like satire or political debate, are not valueless. — PolitiTweet.org

If you're captivated when people who draw out the worst in one another can’t quit one another, forget about Ryan and Kelly on The Office, Gossip Girl’s Chuck and Blair, and most every pairing on Euphoria and start watching the latest season of Twitter. https://t.co/Cbl7SxS0zK — PolitiTweet.org

@drvolts @LiamKerrigan17 I have already answered your question and I have and will continue to have many discussions about content moderation. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@drvolts It depends. If I were making the rules, satire, especially of government officials, would almost always be allowed. So would unsettled political or philosophical arguments. Harassment would not be allowed. In what context did misgendering occur? That would influence the answer. — PolitiTweet.org

@uneasilybemused I agree. Something can be concerning without violating the 1st amendment — PolitiTweet.org

True, but as well, journalists who correctly opined that candidate Biden's overtures definitely weren't 1st Amendment problems have somehow ignored the Trump White House requests that could have been — PolitiTweet.org

@ijbailey @JamesSurowiecki @ASFleischman @Popehat @MaxEpstein5 @jbarro It is strongly suggestive of corruption and likely to lead to more reporting and clarity than any one outlet save the very best resourced can invest ahead of time — PolitiTweet.org

@JamesSurowiecki @ijbailey @ASFleischman @Popehat @MaxEpstein5 @jbarro I'm unversed in the law here but it seems easy enough to me to draw a coherent principled and legal distinction between publishing Hemingway's letters to his wife or DFW's emails to his students versus Hunter Biden's buckraking emails — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@wil_da_beast630 Some libertarians object to any state role in marriage, though their opposition includes straight people so maybe it's non responsive to this — PolitiTweet.org

@JamesSurowiecki @ijbailey @ASFleischman @Popehat @MaxEpstein5 @jbarro What do you think about publishing an image of entire emails with lines about "the big guy," not just snippets? To me, a copyright system that prevents doing that would be indefensible. What exactly is the benefit to intellectual property? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
Now that Taibbi published round one, round two should be an exclusive to the most prominent journalist who purported to believe Taibbi was wrong to publish the new information. After their revealed preference emerges, release the rest barring compelling harm to innocent parties — PolitiTweet.org

@JamesSurowiecki @ijbailey @ASFleischman @Popehat @MaxEpstein5 @jbarro It bears on whether you should publish emails you don't own the rights to when they do have social value. I agree that one shouldn't publish private emails or photos with no social value regardless of copyright questions — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ijbailey @ASFleischman @JamesSurowiecki @Popehat @MaxEpstein5 @jbarro Surely you think probing the identity of "the big guy" referenced in the emails is a necessity for the Washington press corps? — PolitiTweet.org
