ewsieg Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 15 minutes ago, oblong said: the tweets that were "banned" referred to Hunter Biden's penis. Apples and some Oranges. This comment makes me feel like you've read and studied the left's talking points. Hunter Biden's penis certainly was tabloid fodder, but the reason why the left wants to keep the story tied to his dick is because they don't want anyone to question the emails. Anyway, why would you care about this story anyway? Didn't 50 intelligence officers state this was Russian disinformation? 15 minutes ago, oblong said: I've been asking all over... who was unjustly banned according to the right wingers? Again, it wasn't specific people that were banned by the previous Twitter regime, it was entire ideas. Rather you think one is worse than the other, I simply contend both are bad.

Also safe to assume you think the lab leak theory is equivalent to a conspiracy theory? Lot of assumptions for a simple question asking who. I didn’t remember, it’s why I asked.

I'm not keeping score. Just wondering why the right wingers are calling for congressional investigations and targeting advertisers who choose not to do business with a site that's sympathetic to nazis. They are the ones who seem to think it's a big deal. I've asked who was banned that has the right wingers upset and you answered "nobody" so that settles it as far as I am concerned. The whole 'both sides' argument is non existent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This reminds me of Douglas Hofstadter's speculations on whether the background or inverse of a message always has to imply the same information as the foreground. Can a vacuity of thought even imply an inverse rationality? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Specific accounts were noted in the Twitter Files. Banning outright wasn't the previous regimes M.O.. They worried about the Streisand effect whereas Musk doesn't care and has outright shut them down. I simply contend both are bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was waiting for someone to jump to one of the extremist. BTW, Jones is still banned under Musk. Dr. Jay Bhattacharya was one of those mentioned in the Twitter files and he was shadow banned because he warned that the lockdowns would cause great harm on children and their education. I mean, that's right up there with Nazi's and Alex Jones though, so I guess I'm just proving myself wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see, OK. But probably not during the dark days of @jack's liberal Twitter during which bots and their human minions spewed COVID disinfo and got banned for it, to the horror of MAGAnation? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The complaint by the Biden administration, released by Taibbi in twitter files #1 contained 4 specific links to tweets. The wayback machine was used and all 4 were hunters dong. That's not a "talking point", that's what happened. Furthermore, the idea of hunters laptop wasn't banned. A specific article by Nypost was banned. This also is what happened.

gehringer_2 Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 (edited) I have over 50 tax returns in my history. There isn't a thing in any of them from which I need protection from disclosure. How did my life go so wrong? The only reason I would have any concern is that the information in a tax return may be useful to people attemping cyber identity theft, not over any of the facts themselves.
