'hate speech is bad'

"now just wait a minute, that's just a little too narrow-minded don't you think? after all there's all these nuances to think about when it comes to speeching and hating"
:goonsay:

I think most of the nuance comes from what's getting defined as hate speech. There's a lot of internet people who if they had their way would basically classify anyone disagreeing with them as hate speech.

if you follow celebrities on twitter there will often be posts like "i'm using (random product) right now and it's really cool" that are basically ads

I open Twitter on my phone once or twice a week when it tells me that my IRL friend on there "liked" a tweet that is usually disappointing or requires a lot of extra context. It is a pointless app unless you're inclined to obsess over it. I just want it to tell me when Patton Oswalt says something funny or that I give a poo poo about, but it turns out that stuff usually gets to me through an article that's shared on Facebook.

Anyway, sometimes I see an ad for Clash of Clans or whatever poo poo I don't want, or it sneaks a tweet from a corporate brand page into my feed

When do you guys think that twitter will finally go outta business and just die? Because I eagerly await that day

Twitter the platform isn't going anywhere, regardless of how poorly twitter the business does. It doesn't lose money, it just doesn't make enough to be worth its initial valuation so is disappointing shareholders. So long as it isn't losing money there will be someone willing to buy it even if shareholder confidence bottoms out. MySpace continued to change hands even when its userbase was long, long dead.

twitter allows isis and al qaeda to tweet but they wont let some human being tweet good stuff because someone feels it's too "problematic" to be on the internet

Not an equivalent statement unless the CIA is going to use twitter blather to pinpoint where to put a Hellfire up Milo's rear end, sorry.

im hate speeching you rn except not really because you see, its nuanced so its not really hate speech except it is only because i said a certain thing this way instead of that way.

its tasteful hatespeech so you see, im being polite in my disgusting way and u cant tell me to shut up if im being polite and courteous about my hate speech

if u tell me to shut up that means ur the uncivl one who cant handle my rational mature adult discourse about hating someone's skin color, orientation, or belief

Twitter has actual ads in between tweets, as well as offering data and marketing services, just not as good as Facebook is capable of. It made $595 million revenue last quarter, which was considered disappointing based off forecasts.

i dont even care about the movie or even think she's funny or relevant to my interests

i just find it funny that ITYOOL 2016 people aka some celebrity are having first encounters with trolls, both ironic and unironic. Twitter just happens to be the battleground right now

problem is the unironic trolls are the insanely racist ones with little to no creativity in that echo chamber
