Interesting that you don’t like Buzzfeed (I have never read it but will refer me to The Grayzone as evidence of something. I don’t know the publication, but upon googling it found the publication to be far left. Wiki says the following about the publication. “The website's news content is generally considered to be fringe. It is known for its misleading reporting and sympathetic coverage of authoritarian regimes in addition to its denial of the Uyghur genocide. The Grayzone has spread conspiracy theories about Venezuela, Xinjiang, Syria, and other regions.”
I tend to cross check my information by reading multiple publications from multiple countries. So, while it turns my stomach to read a publication like the British Daily Mail, I will read it anyway so I get an idea of what is being said and how people are being influenced. By doing that, I get a better idea of what is going on. In this day and age, with so much misinformation, the only way (in my opinion) to get a fair idea of what is going is to read both left and right from multiple countries.
No, your comment wasn’t hate speech, and I guess it was a lesson hard learnt. I have been given warnings by Medium that I will be suspended if I cross the line again, and I have just had a viral post deleted on Quora for being ‘hate speech.’ It wasn’t hate speech. It simply wasn’t liked by the far right. And the piece that got canned on Medium wasn’t liked by the far left.
Both sides gang up on people they don’t like and report. The way that happens is that when multiple reports are received, something is triggered, and one is either warned or banned. Publications are now so scared of losing business and followers that they are avoiding any conflict that will endanger their survival. That said, I avoid following the crowd, because it’s groupthink. What did you gain by letting Buzzfeed know that you didn’t like them? Why do you feel it necessary to tell people that you don’t like them?
I just avoid people and publications I don’t like. It’s called tolerance.
I truly doubt that Trump was pursuing peace with Russia. Trump is incredibly stupid and corrupt. I’m more inclined to believe that Russia flattered him in order to use him (as reported by other nations).
None of this, in any way, detracts from what I said about Elon Musk. Twitter does not have a problem with freedom of speech. It has a problem with verbal thuggery, misinformation, harassment, hate speech, and more. Your comment was part of a group agenda to harass. You got penalised.
