Elon Musk Came Through



An attempt was made to leave this comment on the video, but it disappeared. Twice.

""Now, you can go watch "What is a Woman" for free over on Twitter" Well, actually, no I cannot. Because, in spite of Mr. Musk's declaration that Twitter would now have a sense of humor and that posts about the vaccine would no longer be censored, I remain locked out of my account for refusing to delete a tweet from Two years ago that was intended as a humorous reply to Viva Frei. 

Subsequent appeals have been denied. I am not going to delete it. So, in my opinion and experience, Twitter still lacks a sense of humor and continues to censor any mention of covid -19 of which it does not approve. But good for you guys that you are influential enough to have a loud enough "voice" that Mr. Musk will allow you to have free speech on Twitter."

Again, here is the Tweet so awful, so horrendous, so unimaginably heinous that the rest of the world must, must be shielded from it - avert thine eyes, shouldst thou wish to remain untouched by it - for which this blogger has been locked out of her account for the last TWO YEARS because there is a principle involved. That principle is free speech. The Tweet will not be deleted, not even to delete the account. 



As I attempted to say in my comment on Youtube, it is all well and good for those with "loud voices" to be able to get their speech seen, but, unless that also applies to the little guy, what good does it really do?

Perhaps the laptop - which is failing - had a problem. But the post appeared to have posted, albeit with some trouble after it would not allow an edit. But when I went back to check it a few minutes later, the same post was there on top that had been there before, but the one mentioned above was nowhere to be seen, scroll as one might. But, while the possibility of user error is left open, the point remains the same. There is no freedom of speech unless we all have freedom of speech, from presidents to frumpy, Midwestern housefraus.

 Leviticus 19:15
Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honor the person of the mighty: but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour.
