This is comparable to the surge in anti-Asian hate crimes.

Good thread here. I am much more worried about a situation in which Musk’s varied business interests lead to too little free speech on Twitter rather than too much.

To the extent that the real goal of US policy in Ukraine is to weaken Russia, Putin could (and indeed should) foil this plan by ceasing the invasion.

This from Hobbes is a popular but the situation is Tweeters are richer than the general population.
But because they are also younger and better-educated, it’s a more left-wing group than the electorate — so left-wing people like it when elites are responsive to Twitter.

Twitter is basically “what if you could do politics without non-college old people?”
The answer is leftists would have a lot more influence and rightist politics would be techy edgdelords instead of observant Christians.
But you can’t do politics that way.

@MattBruenig But notice that 8chan does NOT include equivalents of tons of 1st Amendment compliant speech restrictions -- noise ordinances, anti-harassment laws, and so on. You can include equivalents of all those and still be aping the 1st Amendment.
