When you find yourself agreeing with Matt Hancock on an issue, you know it has gotten out of hand.
Iām finding myself using Twitter less and less. I think their bannings are pathetic. If it was just Trump, that would be one thing. An exceptional action for an exceptional time.
Thing is, theyāve banned loads of people that shouldnāt have been banned already.
If freedom of expression is a fundamental human right, and this is the way we express ourselves now, banning someone is essentially removing that human right.
Twitter is not bad for porn and football. Everything else on it is shite though.
I must be following the wrong accountsā¦
You sure you donāt mean Tugger?
I havenāt found an account combining porn and football though - not yet.
Tbh, itās tough to hold the phone andā¦
Ha! youāve just reminded me of an old boy i worked with whoās nickname was Tugger - short for Tugwell or something, but obviously referencing other things. When i was fresh of out college and green as grass he was the Brickies foreman on the site i was based on. I remember one day on a site walk around with the Client who was a nice guy and was always happy to chat with the lads. Tugger was a brash geezer from Pompey and this day he was wearing a Pompey shirt.
āAh, are you a footbal fan?ā the Client asks
āYepā says Tugger.
āPompey fan?ā
āFucking obvious that, iād sayā
āAha, umm, do you go to games?ā
āNoā
āWhy notā
āI only likes football 'cos when my mates are at the game i can go round and fuck their wivesā
Hmm, interesting article methinksā¦
Twitter and Facebook have caused themselves huge issues
They are going to struggle to argue they are not responsible for content after this
They obviously are when it suits them
Itās the employees as much as anything else. These places attract the brightest minds in the world, a lot of them are programmers, and as you know, we programmers are always 1.
At least when life has kicked the shit out of you a bit you get a bit of nous.
Hyper-bright kids, all the intelligence, none of the wisdom, making up the majority of the workforce of powerful communications conduits.
What can possibly go wrong?
But, on Twitter at least, religious groups donāt incite people to go around and kill other people, if they do then they will fall foul of twitterās ācommunity rulesā and get themselves bannedā¦
Iām going to post this in the social media thread as itās slightly off-topic for this thread.
And infesting another thread Bob? 
Corrected for you
Dont want you getting blasted by no Eurovision Typhoons
Thisāll open a massive can of worms and one that closes down debate further and creates small sub-divisions of agreement as opposed to discussion and concession.
Just a little bit further down the road to social fundamentalism and further away from each other, good little liberal fascists, well doneā¦
What will? Are you responding to Philās post immediately before yours or something else?
It makes no sense
Another thread to swerve today I guess
Stop being bitchy, the post was written openly and to everyone.
Why?
Not being funny, but Barry puts up with dogs abuse on here and even though he deserves a good deal of it, Iāve never seen him do this.
This is a discussion forum and yours is an anti-discussion post.
