Unapologetic Over Controversial Tweets Calling Whiteness ‘Evil'

[Revoltingest]

Twitter is a social platform.

It's privately owned.
So government has no right to compel that
it host speech it doesn't want. The right
against compelled speech is also a free
speech right.

Surely. But doublestandardism here is the issue.
Because, as you rightfully underlined (and I thank you for that), the same social platform will allow hateful comments towards the race X and will prohibit the same identical hateful comments towards the race Y.

Disparity of treatment is not allowed in Italy, especially if you are a private company.
Got the concept?

Would you agree if a white racist school board
member said African American culture has many
evil elements to it, eg, violence, racism, thievery,
misogyny?
There can be things believed true...& can even be
true...but saying them publicly will be troubling,
especially for a government official.

Just about any cultural nomos has evil elements to it, due to the fact that people under its influence see it as "reality" and "just the way it is," and therefore become very uncomfortable (or downright defensive and aggressive) when the cultural nomos is questioned or critiqued. There is a good reason why Buddha called the cultural nomos Mara.

<edit to add>
Exposing and critiquing the cultural nomos can be dangerous. It is the realm of the Left Hand Path: feminists, satirists, jesters, and Sacred Clowns like the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster and The Satanic Temple.

Your explanations seem incomplete,
& contradict my searches about free
speech in Italy & Europe.

There is discussion of culture.
And there is insulting people.
Too many use the former to justify the latter.

I don't discuss your engineering degree.
So, with the utmost respect, I guess you should trust someone who has a law degree.
Thank you

Neither do I.

Agreed!
