I still think its awesome but Im not sure why they decided to make you a latecomer to the school. It would be even cooler if it followed your whole experience.

We should add an extra weekend day between Friday and Saturday entirely for unwinding after the work week. You can actually start being productive on Saturday.

For me, would be between Chrono Trigger or Ocarina of Time

It's Chrono Trigger.

Although Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World are also ones I've played a lot.

5785 karma. Assuming you mean every other week, $150,410 annually. That is a very nice salary indeed. I wish I lived in that world.

Maintenance tonight. Hype for new summon animations when its done. Also we got robbed of some special tickets Japan got where they were able to pick these Family Kamehameha SSRs for free. On Global we got pilaf or using your red dragon stone. How nice of the Global team doing something so bad after being pretty decent for a while. Oh well.

Global is so openly greedy its kind of gross sometimes.

This is a tough subject. On one hand if hosting him is hurting business, he is not entitled to share their platform. On the other their platform is a modern day street corner and I believe that people should be able to discuss their beliefs.

On there other other hand the guy was an admitted troll. On the other other other hand this sets a bad precedent on how they will handle accounts in the future and as you said give other sites the license to do similar things.

It's already a precedent. Youtube has a terms of service and you better believe he isn't the first guy to be banned for breaking it.

Also if I had a dime for everyone who said "It's a slippery slope" unironically I could quit my job. You realize it's called the slippery slope fallacy, right? Not the slippery slope cogent argument.

I still think there needs to be some kind of standards on a social media platform, and it's hard to judge exactly what is or isn't being done and if they are going too far without seeing anything. Obviously, secretly blocking people from seeing tweets from users who aren't banned is a bad thing. However, what exactly constitutes an "edgy meme"? Twitter sure seems to allow a lot of offensive things considering all the crap James Gunn was found to have posted.

I'm saying that they wouldn't be motivated by politics.

Once again though, disparate impact is legal precedent in the US.

If you create an employment test that dramatically favors whites over blacks, the test is considered to be de facto racial discrimination, regardless of whether you intended it to be so or not.

Has disparate impact been used in cases of things determined by choice, like political alignment or ice cream flavor? You're not going to be able to prosecute an ice cream parlor for favoring vanilla over chocolate ice cream the same way as race.

I mean, if Twitter is lying in its user agreement, you can get them on that. If a Twitter official misrepresented them in specific tweets, that's evidence there too. You may say alternate social networks have been tried and failed due to some kind of unfair advantage, and that may or may not be the case. You do have a link there, so you did some kind of research.

I'd say that making a new social network is still a viable strategy though. Networks rise and fall as the times and the political climate changes. Myspace is dead. Facebook is losing a lot of money. A LOT of money right now. Their stock plummeted.

If you think the world needs it, build it and they will come to borrow a phrase. Or, if if the situation is as perverse as you think it is, maybe it's coming anyway.

To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if we did get a Right Wing social network at some point.

I dont need evidence that will hold up in court. Court of public opinion is fine with me. Just something you saw or read about that made you go gosh these social media sites are doing this and it makes me mad.

I mean, we can both agree the CEO of Twitter shouldnt vehicularly manslaughter small children but I wont yell at him for it if he isnt doing it.

What opinions specifically are being banned?

Or are they ones you cant express here either?

I have difficulty getting up in arms about a shadow conspiracy about hypothetical people being banned by a hypothetical website for hypothetical opinions.

But its not hypothetical you say; then give me an example, work with me here.

These are interesting arguments.

To repeat to make sure I'm understanding (correct me if I'm wrong), your only issue is that social media networks have advertised themselves as "say anything you want safety zones" but don't actually follow through with that promise.

Which instances of censorship are you railing against in particular?

I do think there is some room for case-by-case judgment, the most extreme and often used example is 'shouting fire in a movie theater'.

I guess I'd be interested to see where you would draw that line between appropriate and inappropriate censorship

I also wonder about this last point. Any service would also want to keep outright harassment of its users off itself Id imagine. They are a business and users chasing each other off like that isnt profitable.

Id argue that the situation between a company providing fraudulent data for engine performance and moderating the content on a social media platform is different, at least in part because the user agreements in a social media network tend to indicate that once you put things up there, theyre theirs. That youre sacrificing the right to say just anything by using their service.

Now are you saying that such agreements are buried in legalese and need to be made more clearly upfront? Perhaps a case could be made there. Are you suggesting as it seems might be the case, that once a social media platform becomes large enough in society that it has a greater responsibility to society to allow people to discuss the issues of the day free from constraint and that in your experience, this hasnt been happening?

That could be interesting. What specific sorts of speech is being restricted here, other than the general right wing you suggested? Because I certainly dont think you wrote this large intellectual sounding essay because they didnt let you call black people the n word or something. What is the deep discourse theyve been keeping from you?
