News Goof joins the board of directors at Meta

Their idea of free speech is "it's only free speech if I agree with it."
Look at X/Twitter.
Making fun of and talking bad about black people? Totally fine.
Making fun of Elon's immigrant engineer friends? Not ok. Will get you unmonetized and banned.

It's certainly freer than before with formerly banned accounts like Trump being reinstated. I know it's not perfect but it's an improvement and I think this will be too.

Yeah if there is one thing the UFC is known for is excellent transparency and a fair media environment.

LOL

I know UFC lies. But overall the shit Dana says and the fact he doesn't have a problem with what his fighters say. Fighters who talk all kinds of shit like Sean Strickland, then the media asks questions like is he gonna face any repercussions for the things he said. And Dana always says no these guys are fighters and this is the fight business, it can get nasty.

So say what you want about Dana and his lies but at least he let's his guys speak out, say what they want and doesn't give into this wokeness. This to me suggests him being on the board is gonna be good for free speech. Even if only slightly better.

In a way, perhaps, but now there's an edgelord central/authority figure that bans any user or group who criticizes him or disagrees with his politics.

Unless you're Matt Mitrione criticizing Fallon Fox, Nate Diaz criticizing Bryan Caraway getting a bonus, Miguel Torres making a joke, or Stitch Duran criticizing Reebok

I don't think it is. It's just more friendly to a certain demographic of people.
Colonizer can't be used on Twitter but the n word is totally fine? Miss me with that.

Before Elon bought it there was an objective list of things you couldn't do on Twitter that applied to everyone.

Now Twitter is about bending to the will of Elon. If Elon disagrees with you then it's not cool on Twitter. If Elon agrees with you then no matter how outrageous or horrible it is it's fine.

And people misunderstand "freedom of speech." You have freedom of speech which means the GOVERNMENT can't punish you for something you say. That doesn't mean your family, friend group, job, place of worship, community, etc can't levy backlash and consequences for what you said.

What most people mean when they say "freedom of speech" is they have a right to be heard. (Both sides argument) NO THE FUCK YOU DON'T. You do not have a right to be heard or paid attention too. That's what pisses people off. When they say someone and people don't pay attention. They think it's their right to be platformed and given an audience to listen to them. Once again, NO THE FUCK YOU DON'T.

When Elon went pure dictator in Twitter the left leaning didn't complain about freedom of speech or being suppressed. They either adjusted or just left Twitter.

When right wing people got banned on old Twitter they started complaining about freedom of speech and being suppressed. They got mad they got kicked out of the party.

I need confidence that Dana has the capacity to edit a PDF, before I'd trust him to be on a tech company board.
