Things that were previously considered "insane" by social media companies:

- Hunter Biden's laptop being genuine - The COVID Lab Leak theory




ISIS and the Taliban had Twitter accounts after they banned the sitting president of the USA. It's not about truth, it's about control and political power. That's also the reason people are so hysterical about Elon.


You can accept Twitter’s not the best place for debating either of these things without taking a judgment on whether they are true or false.


There are probably a lot of things that Twitter is not the best place for debating, but who gets to control that list and why does it always favour the left?


If we accept there are better places for debating then it doesn’t matter what‘s on the list.


And part of this free speech deal of yours is that Oxford should give you a platform to talk about children of famous people, otherwise you can sue them?


> - Hunter Biden's laptop being genuine

Which has what exactly?

> - The COVID Lab Leak theory

Still not proven.


a) Hunter Biden's laptop - we never got to find out as it was all suppressed. There are emails that at first glance look like shady business deals involving his father.

b) COVID La Leak - I never said it was proven, just that it couldn't even be discussed.
