Re: Killington is Woke
^^ yes after several decades of 24hr news cycles many have been well trained to be able to only process one, blanket-covered issue at a time.
we all have many things on our minds.
we ALL missed spring skiing.
to paraphrase frank zappa:
spring skiing is the best!
(and wtf then is your outraged neighbor doing at a boat launch while people of color are being marginalized!)

Someone say censorship?easyrider16 wrote:I mean, that was basically my original point. Scroll up and you'll see what I posted:madhatter wrote:I guess it just takes you forever to come to conclusions others garner in a matter of minutes...
YES that is EXACTLY the point...twitter is trying to hide behind the protections of the CDA to protect it self from being sued for content that it posts...You took issue with the term "censorship" but that is clearly what this is. By the way, suing twitter for defamation likely wouldn't work, because not only is truth a defense, the plaintiff would have to prove "actual malice." Look it up, it's hard to do, and definitely wouldn't work on twitter's fact checks. This whole move by Trump is more like a shot across the bow of the social media players - he's saying shut up or I will come after you. If he was a private citizen saying that, it would be intimidation. Since he's the President of the United States saying it, it's censorship, and a total disrespect of the First Amendment.He clearly wants to remove the protection so he can sue them and get them to stop publishing this speech. That's the point, here, and if you can't see that it's because you're letting your politics get in the way.

The NFL franchise in Washington just became woke... changing their name from Redskins to something TBD. I didn't think I'd see that happen, but here we are.
