Free speech, especially the hate/racism kind, that's extremely free.

Was it next to something from Justin Trudeau when he celebrated a living Nazi in their parliament?

Or was it next to something with Jon Stewart when he gave an award to a literal Nazi?

I don't really know what you're talking about, but this smells pretty whataboutism-y to me. Why do those two examples you gave excuse Twitter/X allowing lots of Nazi and antisemitic content? Why do the two wrongs make a right?

If you write a post that has the word "cisgender" in it, they flag your post with a message underneath that says it uses "hate speech."

You don't know what I'm talking about? I don't believe you are being honest.

Threads now has more daily active users than Twitter/X. That's pretty crazy.

I didn't realize that this had passed. This is a pretty big deal. It seems necessary based on what they must know about China's eyes into the content of Tiktok. But will this outrage younger voters who love the app?

I believe US Intelligence has found evidence that the owners of Tiktok are sending back large amounts of data about users to the Chinese government. They're concerned about it as a national security issue.

Nope, it’s just a theoretical concern. TikTok being owned by a Chinese company, Beijing might force them to turn over user data in the future. It’s not the company that has proven untrustworthy, it’s the government.

I think they found actual evidence of the data being sent to China despite promises that it wouldn't be. I'll check when I get home.

Funny how it’s always In2’s trusted sources found liable for defamation, while his truth-telling heroes can’t even find grounds to file a claim against those treasonous leftists.
