@AyyJayAre @elonmusk I think mounting a social media harassment campaign against the people who work at the social media company you oversee is a bad idea — PolitiTweet.org

To think I thought the corporate governance sequence in my law school corporations class was boring and of little use — PolitiTweet.org

Twitter's in a tough place with Elon on the board — he's promising changes, but the company is telling us (and, by extension, its employees) that Elon is not going to make content policy decisions https://t.co/dP3srLryZR https://t.co/bLfS1pKN1e — PolitiTweet.org

@TaylorLorenz @kellymakena @loudmouthjulia Julia dropped the Professional Analyst on a Podcast voice on me so seamlessly I didn't even realize it was happening — PolitiTweet.org

Today on Decoder: @loudmouthjulia joins to discuss Disney, WarnerMedia, and whether the future of streaming is just a more-frustrating cable bundle. She also trolls me about the Packers several times. https://t.co/wATeylelYq — PolitiTweet.org

@shellypalmer I mean I’ll be blunt: some people don’t believe that it’s real unless they see it for themselves — PolitiTweet.org

@shellypalmer People need to see it -- these notes are a daily reality for every minority in media. It's even worse for women across the board. Sunlight is the best disinfectant — PolitiTweet.org

@stevekovach @jyarow @IvanTheK Biggest post-Jobs launches have been TV and Watch and both were messy events and messy initial products that settled into solid offerings — PolitiTweet.org

Here's @mmasnick just a few days ago on how content moderation increases participatory speech. https://t.co/hG2EQEDDlT — PolitiTweet.org

You want to add more users to a social network? You make it faster to see cool posts after you sign up, you recommend cool content and communities, and you diminish the assholes who ruin the vibe. All of these things are... content moderation! — PolitiTweet.org

@RolandoCalderon That would be censorship!!!! — PolitiTweet.org

Being racist is one of the lowest-value uses of your free speech rights, which seems to drive some people nuts — PolitiTweet.org

@Batflakes Viewpoint neutral but also devastating to tons of legitimate senders of bulk mail. Your local fire department is doing a car seat installation day and wants to tell the community. You gonna charge them higher rates? — PolitiTweet.org

@thevballdude Here in the United States, that's the main reason. Supreme Court cases, the whole deal. — PolitiTweet.org

@realpauleverton The USPS cannot offer multiple filtering options, because of the First Amendment. — PolitiTweet.org

nilay patel @reckless

@realpauleverton … which the USPS cannot do — PolitiTweet.org

@apowe003 That doesn’t make this a market solution! In fact it makes it the opposite — PolitiTweet.org

nilay patel @reckless

@apowe003 I’m glad he makes you feel nice — PolitiTweet.org

nilay patel @reckless

@apowe003 Also the truest market solution would be for a more permissive competitor to Twitter to succeed, but the actual market doesn’t seem to want that — PolitiTweet.org

nilay patel @reckless

@apowe003 Well, you aren’t doing anything ;) One dude is. Hope you agree with his decisions, because there’s no legal backstop to any of them once you concede spam — PolitiTweet.org

nilay patel @reckless

@apowe003 I think what you are failing to see is that once you get away from the actual law, “free speech principles” is a wholly subjective idea that means nothing. A defensible position supported by evidence is that aggressive moderation allows more people to participate! — PolitiTweet.org

nilay patel @reckless

@chris430218 And your email provider shunts it into another box for you, most of the time. The USPS cannot do that — PolitiTweet.org

nilay patel @reckless

@apowe003 But answer the spam question: should Twitter be able to filter messages in a way the First Amendment prohibits the government from doing? — PolitiTweet.org

nilay patel @reckless

@Batflakes Packages are like 2x marketing mail, and growing. And they would wipe out lots of legitimate uses of bulk mail if they raised rates like that. And they can’t favor one party over another because… First Amendment. — PolitiTweet.org
