@ScottsSoapbox Weird to me people defend this system of monopoly rights instead of looking at the results. — PolitiTweet.org

@TheSilentNight I haven't looked into it much but I'm very skeptical when a company can get away with something an individual can't. Government giving them extra protections we don't get? Not cool. — PolitiTweet.org

@eyeats I'd be happy to have some reform but I do believe getting rid of them would be best. It's much more likely that a large company has patents that will cover some small portion of that small company's invention and therefore big = win. — PolitiTweet.org

oh dangit I remembered number 3: allow companies to merge with each other so we get more aol + time warner, verizon + yahoo fiascos — PolitiTweet.org

How to end tech monopolies: 1. Get rid of patents 2. Allow people who aren't rich to invest in startups 3. ... I'm not sure what else but I bet 1 and 2 would be a big win — PolitiTweet.org

@celinedryan Which protections are you disagreeing with me on? I want zero government, so I'm probably going to agree with any government interventions you want to get rid of. What I don't enjoy is the "okay it's time for gov to step in" line of thinking, which always backfires. — PolitiTweet.org

People used to believe NY Times was the "paper of record" back when NY Times was pushing Soviet propaganda. Now we better understand their agenda and are therefore far less susceptible to it. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul @futurepaul

Part of a tech platform's propaganda effort is convincing people they're being non-partisan. The fact that they're failing so dramatically (in the eyes of both sides, usually!) in this effort is a great sign that they're actually kind of dumb and incompetent. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul @futurepaul

If we believe there's some plausible nirvana situation where Twitter or Facebook allow everyone to speak freely without algorithmic prejudice we're playing ourselves. Treat them like what they are, not what you wish they'd be. Extract value you can and move on. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul @futurepaul

I think "censorship" is the wrong word for it. It's just a fancy form of propaganda. I defend Twitter's right to be a propaganda arm for the Democrats. The antidote to propaganda is truth, not silencing or controlling the propagandists. — PolitiTweet.org

@HoratioOSRS @nbalagopal Twitter has tools for choosing who you hear news from (who you follow and who they retweet / reply to, minus who you have blocked or muted). If you're following dumb people you might hear dumb stuff how could any company solve that simple fact? I think gum is trending tho. — PolitiTweet.org

someone who thinks I'm too dumb to read a newspaper article is someone who thinks I'm too dumb to make a lot of other decisions for myself. must control me for my own safety! — PolitiTweet.org

@nbalagopal we never "controlled" the national inquirer. we put it at every grocery store checkout next to the gum. — PolitiTweet.org

does this new twitter policy about hacked material mean twitter would censor the snowden leaks? — PolitiTweet.org

@Kelleychance well as long as you're confident about who is inferior to you intellectually then you should be fine — PolitiTweet.org

@Kelleychance I believe in all sorts of conspiracy theories. which ones specifically are disqualifying for hearing information and making up my own mind? — PolitiTweet.org

@Kelleychance which chunk specifically? — PolitiTweet.org

If you speak you might say something wrong. If you say something wrong you might get banned. Best not to speak! Why don't you just sit back and watch the endless info stream we've curated for you. — PolitiTweet.org

I wonder what stories Facebook and Twitter and YouTube have hidden from me over the years that weren't a big enough deal for me to hear about. Oh well, I'm sure they know what's good for me! — PolitiTweet.org
