That is just not true.
Free speech is only regulated between the government and the people. Twitter is not the government. Simple as that.
Companies in the United States are allowed to control their products. Twitter is a company product. So they can control it.
Just like Apple does not allow porn of any sort for the IPhone.
Just like every company (modern ones) does not allow employees to view porn in the work place. Even on their break.
And companies can and do fire people for what they say in the work place and even when not at work all the time.
Regardless of what twitter does any US Citizen is still allowed to go to a public street corner and shout whatever lies they want. That is what the US Constitution is about.
Kirk 10389821 wrote: But their government Called Apple. And Apple Disabled that feature... For people in that country.
That has nothing to do with anything.
China is a different country. Companies in different countries must follow the laws of that country. Just as if a US citizen was in that different country then the laws of that country (or even the lack of laws) apply to that US citizen. Which is why a US teenager was caned in Singapore, because he broke the laws of that country and received the legal punishment of that country.

I am not supporting nor against your claims. I am just objectivelly telling you (both of you), you are really close to the limits of the lounge content guidelines.
Please stop before it ends in a soapbox thread and CP Staff has to jump in and block it.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Society is being rubber-necked by Elon's train wreck with mental illness; I can't help but wish him some intervention, seeing him implode does not fill me with joy.

A few weeks ago I was commiserating about the fact that, being somewhat of a news junkie, I'm subscribed to some RSS feeds, and I'll just read headlines as the feeds refresh themselves, and delete anything that isn't of interest, and keep everything else I intend to read later, as I don't always have time to go through articles "now". And then, the problem is that I was approaching 1000 items in the backlog, going back almost a full year...
Well, it turns out I've "discovered" this feature in Edge (I'm sure it's there in other browsers) that will read the content of web pages aloud--probably some sort of accessibility feature. I know it had been there for a very, very long time, but hadn't looked at it in years.
I was pleasantly surprised to find that text-to-speech nowadays doesn't sound nearly as robotic and monotonous as it did years gone by, so over the last few weeks I just had it go over my backlog and read articles aloud for me, one-by-one, as I'm actually busy doing other stuff. "Reading" in the traditional sense otherwise means monopolizing my time as I have to focus on a page, and can't do anything else...but this being played in the background frees me up, and it's been working out very well as far as I'm concerned...so much so that I will have caught up with the entire 1000+ articles I started at not too long ago, and moving forward, I can absolutely see this taking just a few minutes each week to catch up with new items that have come out that week and I haven't yet deleted.
Give it a go if you haven't and find yourself in this sort of situation. In Edge, the shortcut is Ctrl-Shift-U, otherwise use the ... menu, and Read Aloud in the dropdown.
