Vladimir Putin's Russia is on Twitter

You can invade a sovereign country & kill 30,000 people & not get deleted for "incitement to violence"

Leader of Iran is here too & ordered the execution of women/teens in the streets

But words about Hitler is where Twitter draws the line twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

This has been a very tough day.

As a human being, and as a Jewish human being, to see all these Kany e comments appear on my timeline is beyond disheartening.

It's scary. Legitimately scary.

Josh Gad explains it:

@UGOOTWEETS

Oh shut up Josh, none of you have this same energy for people who encourage children to join the LGBTQ community

Kanye West is where you draw the line but tell kids that being a transgender is them bring free

Well guess what, Elon and Ye , like everyone deserves free speech

Kanye's Nazi Swastika embedded in a Star of David post is one of the most offensive things I've ever seen. This soul crushing hate cannot persevere. We must push back hard in a unified voice against antisemitism. This cannot stand...& be a catalyst for protest & change.

@autchbee

This is what scares me: the concerted effort to not only cancel controversial figures, but anyone who doesnt agree that they should be canceled. Acting as if Ye’s fans don’t have independent thought & will suddenly love Hitler is not a real concern. It is a FEAR TACTIC to silence

So you are more capable of seeing fault in what Kanye said but his 30million followers are not! Freedom of speech means people can share their opinions without being restricted or censored...

Correction, he has 30 million followers, the vast majority of which are horrified by what he said and are wondering where Kanye went and what happened to him.

Publius Sage

@PubliusSage

Right. Ban them from networks so that they can all form a group together, in the darkness, free from challenge. Seems like a great idea.

To be clear: the only reason people hold this view is because they’re lazy. They don’t want to fix things. They want to pretend it’s gone.

I'd rather know who the crazies are then silence them. Say what you want about Ye but silencing him because his views are different is a slippery slope. Fight ignorance with your own knowledge. Either way I hope he reaches out to someone who can help him, not Alex Jones.

But you, a Hollywood actor of some sort, should decide "who gets oxygen" on Social Media? Why are you afraid of ideas and views you don't agree with or like? I don't like Hitler but someone saying they do does not threaten or offend me. I guess you are very insecure.

I agree with you Josh but here's my *only* point of contention: by censoring him or de-platforming him, it would have the opposite effect where you strengthen racist idiots bc it would lead them to -> "see?! if you speak the truth they ban you!! we gotta do something fr!"

Kanye is a bit of a idiot for sure but if that's the bar you want to set then we also need to apply that to all mass murderers ie stalin, Lenin, Mao etc are all just as evil as hitler. Personally I think the free speech approach is better just block them and move on with the day
