Twitter Removes Protections for Trans Users in New Policy

This does not surprise me. Saddens me for sure, but this is all part of his belief that to be tolerant you have to remove all barriers.

So what if people get to continue to show how much hatred they have for people they do not know, nor effect them. It's important apparently to let those people get to show everyone else just how much hatred they can have to others, simply because they're Trans.

This "tolerance" is of course a known paradox. A tolerant society cannot remain tolerant unless it exhibits a certain amount of intolerance over other intolerance.

Musk meanwhile seems to be bound and determined the continue to make Twitter a place, not were people converse, but a town square full of the worst members of society get to have their anger amplified in what will eventually be nothing more than an echo chamber.

Still don't see how this helps bring in advertisers. There's a reason why Parler has been taken down, and Gab, Truth Social and other similar pits of anger do appallingly bad jobs of getting advertising dollars.

Still don't get his endgame - guessing it's because Musk isn't sure, either.
