Well, people should be able to talk, even if it's the 'wrong' topic.
I think the whole 'covid disinformation' policy at twitter and others (spotify) is ridiculous.
A banner that pops up telling you to go 'here' for latest info is crazy.
People die from all kinds of things, covid is no exception from that, but no other virus has been put on display like this one. And also not even being able to discuss things around it (except for the cemented truth) is not something I like. I'm not a conspiracy theorist or anything like that - but I love discussing things, and when you cannot even do that - then I have a issue with it. So many people got banned for simply discussing or trying to discuss issues around it.
@stigatle It's been demonstrated that content warnings like this save lives. Are you really trying to say that you think people "being able to talk" is more important than saving lives?
You'd let them shout "fire" in a crowded movie theater? Because this has been litigated already in the US, and it's illegal.
Before any free speech absolutists dive into this with the free speech stuff, please be aware that we are being inundated with misinformation spread, especially through social media, by bad actors who are doing this purposely, with great effort and effect. This issue is not about individuals being able to freely discuss ideas. This is about protecting ourselves from bad actors who have dedicated enormous resources to poisoning the information space *so that we are unable to debate ideas on the merits anymore*. Once you come to believe that misinformation is not about people holding bad ideas inadvertently but is about bad actors attempting to harm people, you take a different stance. That is the stance I hold.
Incidentally, this is the line of thinking you seem to be siding with contra my own:
Not a good look imo
i'll only say a couple of things here:
* we seem to find ourselves in an age of @information war"
* Elon Musk is a better than a centric idiot (I feel at times he should just shut the fuck up)
* discussing ideas openly and transparently on their merits should not get you banned. shunned, erc or get those around you upset*

@prologic I didn't think too much of him previously; didn't dislike him any more than I dislike billionaires generally. He just seemed like a run of the mill rich guy con artist who happened to appeal to a certain type of tech guy. But, the other day he tweeted something about his first born child dying in his arms and how he felt the last heartbeat. But then his ex-wife tweeted that no, in fact the child had suffered from SIDS and died in *her* arms. And that soured me on him completely forever. He's the sort of self-important narcissist who would make up something about a dying baby to try to score points in an online argument. That's so pathetic and contemptible.
