I believe that politics is only a taboo subject if it's off-topic (which isn't the case here).

Or if it's biased.

Yep just don't go down the rabbit hole and keep it clean.

Can't say I'm surprised the gov't wants some closed door time.
It's our interest nationally to better understand, utilize and guard rail the tech.

Now in terms of them having less reach with all of this? Absolutely-friggin not.
You can't just leave something like this unregulated, it's not even an option.

This article is about a closed-doors meeting between tech billionaires and the US Senate so the story itself is about politics. Going by your logic, this article couldn't have a comment section at all because no matter what, every comment made could be construed as political. I believe that politics is only a taboo subject if it's off-topic (which isn't the case here).

That is ironic but doesn't change the rules. It's a point I've shaken my head on many times.

Or if it's biased.

That does seem to be how they treat it.

That article contradicts itself. It starts off pushing free speech and then later on says more moderation on social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter need more moderation. Who ever wrote that piece should think about another career other than journalism.

I didn’t really read them taking a stance either way, not sure where you’re coming from there, but I also have no interest in defending them and think you’re missing the point.

You claim Twitter is a bastion of free speech and has decreased it’s compliance with government requests since Musk purchased it, but that’s not actually true — Twitter/x has significantly increased it’s compliance with government requests, which implies that, as a business, it is more in bed with governments then it previously had been. Your claim that is less in bed with governments appears to be untrue, based on twitter’s self-reporting on the question.

Here are articles from more center and center-right publications that say the same.

Elon Musk says Twitter has no 'actual choice' when complying with authoritarian government requests to restrict content

Musk has previously called himself a "free speech absolutist" and said he would only censor Russian news "at gunpoint."

Mentioning the words "free speech" together with any social media platform is a joke (unfortunately).

I’m not really interested in discussing what free speech is or isn’t here, definitely off-topic/thread closure material

Or if it's biased.

That's a fair point, but I think that finding billionaires having closed-door meetings with Senators to be disturbing is about as non-partisan as it gets.

That is ironic but doesn't change the rules. It's a point I've shaken my head on many times.

As long as I stay non-partisan and stick to the facts, I should be ok.

That does seem to be how they treat it.

I have received no warnings and I have no intention of entering into any areas of discussion that would get me any.
