So much for free speech

[–] db2@sopuli.xyz -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Still not what free speech means.

But baby trust fund dipshit is begging to get sued again.

It’s not what free speech means, but they’re using his own words against him. Of course we clearly can’t expect any consistency from conservatives, “free speech for me” etc.

[–] febra@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Ah, the "free speech absolutist" doing completely free speech stuff.

I wonder why the guy who bought Tesla might not want the UAW represented on the platform he bought? I can't think of why that might be

In completely unrelated related news:

One of the things their talking about is an increase for workers who deal with electric batteries...

[–] OneClappedCheek@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Just as much of a Musk hater as the rest of them, but this was posted elsewhere. UAW changed their profile photo at the same time they announced the strike, which triggered the flag on the account. Apparently this is standard with all verified accounts until the photo can be reviewed.

Anywho, fuck Elon Musk!

Somewhere an Elon fanboy is explaining why this is peak free speech

[–] SendMePhotos@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I mean technically it's the free speech of Elon to do whatever with his company, right? Like how the Colorado photographer didn't have to provide services to gays and how Amazon is no longer allowing BLM.

Legally, yes. Ethically, definitely no.

How most of society uses that term is not in the legal way, but in the ethical way, which is a topic all on its own; a weird disconnect.

No ethics or morals in a corporate world. Only the law and weighing the fines.

[–] CosmicCleric@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

No ethics ir morals in a corporate world.

Society is not just a corporation.

This gives off such a movie "It's a Wonderful Life" vibe.

If you are still on X, then you deserve the world you are struggling in.

Lonnie is an enemy of workers.
