From my experience living in the US, the country is not a good reference point for any discussions around the nature of free speech.

Free speech polemics in the US largely have a demonstrative role with individuals parroting random copytext that they've heard before in an attempt to position themselves as being special and independent.

In a way, the whole thing is very entertaining.

Every state or social group has its shibboleths - the American one is just to performatively pretend they don't have any.

[–] Alphane_Moon@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago

Definitely. There is a lot of good things about the US, lots to see, different types of experiences, nice nature. But that doesn't mean I have to agree with polemics that make no sense.

A French Inquiry...

"Did you ehhhhhh.... do ze crime?"

"Non"

"Par Excellence! Time for some coffee and cigarettes!"

I hear cigarettes have ironically fallen out of popularity in France, despite it being seen as culturally significant in the past.

Okay, now defend us from the foreign censorship that Israeli lobbyists baked into our state constitutions. https://www.newsweek.com/pro-palestinian-protest-states-colleges-illegal-bds-1895292

Requesting information isn't limiting free speech is it? Now if that algorithm shows it is indeed limiting or promoting people's speech in a non-equal manner, that would be limiting people's free speech would it not?

Dont try facts on the American government and 40% of its population. They dont work like that.

Just call it Twitter. He's been trying to make "fetch" happen since the 90s. We get it, rich boy, you have a single-character .com domain. I'm still sending money over PayPal, because that's what it's fucking called.

PayPal? The platform that can freeze your account and keep your money for whatever reason and amount of time they like? I don't know...

What is the actual context here? I don't trust what this tweet says
