X Suppresses the Lawful but Awful
X’s ownership is an improvement on the repressive leftists who ran Twitter on behalf of the liberal establishment. But don’t expect an online utopia where free speech is sacrosanct:
X CEO Linda Yaccarino said during an interview this week that the company has new hate speech policies that “deamplify” content that is deemed to be “lawful but awful.”
According to the media, “hate speech” is why we should be denied our fundamental right of free expression.
Yaccarino, the former advertising head at NBCUniversal, made the remarks during a CNBC interview with Sara Eisen on “Squawk on the Street.”
Personnel is policy. Take personnel from NBC, and you can guess what the policy will be.
Yaccarino said that X has “introduced a new policy to your specific point about hate speech called freedom of speech, not reach. …if you are going to post something that is lawful but it’s awful, you get labeled, you get labeled, you get deamplified, which means it cannot be shared. And it is certainly demonetized.”
The purpose of the First Amendment is to protect speech that is “awful.” Speech that no one objects to requires no protection.
