I should add more details to why I think that but this isn\u2019t political for me\u2026.and no Freedom of speech does not extend to someone else\u2019s server and I do think that social networks should get rid of bad actors or people who will be on the wrong side of history\u2026.<\/p>\n<p>BUT\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>censorship of anyone who disagrees with you is what got us into this situation to begin with. The amount of liberals who had no idea Trump would win the presidency is a sign that algorithms, bubbles, \u2018hide\u2019 and shadow-banning has caused each side of the aisle to become ignorant of the other side\u2019s opinions. When everyone has equal footing on the discussion boards to discuss things instead of safe places for liberals and republicans alike, you get two uninformed groups of people who don\u2019t have both sides of the coin. You can think white supremacy is bad but if you don\u2019t even have a dialogue with that person, you\u2019ll never understand what could inspire them to take such an extreme position on life. The same goes for them and ignoring the huge changes in gender-identity, social issues, foreign concepts like veganism and open-borders.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The people and the press is divided right now because everyone is talking in an echo chamber and if the mainstream social networks censor the far-right \/ alt-right, whatever, you\u2019re further siloing yourself into an echo chamber of ignorance of other viewpoints.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Twitter is trying to be the world\u2019s water-cooler and that involves hearing the opinions of people you don\u2019t agree with sometimes. Spend a few hours reading alt-right tweets and reading the news they do with an open mind. You\u2019ll find that both parties can find a middle ground and knowledge is power. If all of your news comes from NPR and the 50 twitter accounts who echo your views on life, you\u2019ll never learn anything beyond the far-left side of things. The other half of this nation disagrees with you. Find out why.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jack Dorsey On Deleting Tweets, Banning Trump, And Whether An Unbiased Twitter Can Exist: I think we\u2019re going&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"apple_news_api_created_at":"2018-08-22T13:50:41Z","apple_news_api_id":"97ecb353-6230-4282-8510-b52ddaba84f6","apple_news_api_modified_at":"2018-08-22T13:50:45Z","apple_news_api_revision":"AAAAAAAAAAD\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/w==","apple_news_api_share_url":"https:\/\/apple.news\/Al-yzU2IwQoKFELUt2rqE9g","apple_news_cover_media_provider":"image","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_cover_video_id":0,"apple_news_cover_video_url":"","apple_news_cover_embedwebvideo_url":"","apple_news_is_hidden":"","apple_news_is_paid":"","apple_news_is_preview":"","apple_news_is_sponsored":"","apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":[],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_custom_appearance":"","csco_disable_excerpt_posts_layout":false,"csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-7548","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-linked","7":"cs-entry","8":"cs-video-wrap"},"apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb3IC4-1XK","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":1921,"url":"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/2011\/03\/18\/bloomberg-tells-us-the-history-of-twitter-video\/","url_meta":{"origin":7548,"position":0},"title":"\u2605 Bloomberg Tells us The History of Twitter [Video]","author":"Adam Chandler","date":"March 18, 2011","format":false,"excerpt":"I've heard the story told again and again by half a dozen people who were there at the inception but this 25 minute special is worth a watch.
