RE: Twitter free speech narrative already starting to crack.

in #twitterlast year

Blue check verification obviously comes with a responsibility that you CAN NOT change your verified name and, especially, you can't change your verified name to the name of another blue check user. That's just not parody.

If you want to do parody, start a new account on 0 follows and do parody... you can't use your Blue Check to be someone else.

Sort:  

Your twitter @ makes you distinct and you obviously can parody by changing your name. Its just that twitter apparently doesnt allow it even when its obvious and listed in bio.
The blue checkmark is a product of the twitter system. If you impose rules based on the checkmark then its rules executed can stifle free speech.
They were banned instead of their checkmark simply removed.

But that is besides the point. Its the fact that this happened and the fact that you can create a narrative over this that actually, no, Elon doesnt want free speech, he just wants to punish leftists, leads to nothing but a directly inverted perception of Twitter. The perception the right had becoming the leftist perception.
Specifically because "someone" owns it. He owns it.
The open forum cant be owned by anyone to be accepted by everyone as an open forum.
