Listen "55. Elon Musk is the CEO of Twitter, But is It a Mixed Blessing for Freedom of Speech or the Start to a Rise in Hate Speech?"
Episode Synopsis
Cancel culture and divisive politics has been moving into the work place for a couple of years, leading to cases where people have been forced out of work and have had to take their cases to the Supreme Court. Facebook, Twitter and Instagram have all been attacked for their guidelines on free speech in recent months and year, especially after they deplatformed Donald Trump when he started claiming the 2020 Election result was wrong — though he has since been brought back on those platforms, as well as when people were allowed to spread misinformation about other issues in society, i.e, the pandemic, although some other things that started as a conspiracy theory back then, seem to be getting closer to be getting investigated now, e.g, the lab leak theory, which might have more truth to it than others.More closely, however, we’ve seen the battles that the Mermaids transgender charity and Stonewall have had with the LGB Alliance group as well, and how authors like JK Rowling have been facing death threats, as well as other people in the media, for standing up for the facts. And let’s not forget about the Russian interference that has been speculated in UK and American politics, and the hackers we’ve heard about getting involved with politics as well.In this episode, I lay out my thoughts regarding Elon Musk becoming CEO of Twitter (although he has since decided to step down) while telling you whether it is a good or bad thing for freedom of speech / hate speech.LINKSOriginal Video: https://youtu.be/7BbHAKE-H8MMy Phoebs Lyle Tech Reviews Website: https://pltechreviews.co.uk/My Other Portfolio Website: https://phoebelyle.com/The PL Tech Reviews YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCN3KXB2-z8iisuS1PspjwIAThe Phoebs Lyle Journalism YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbPQAzDKcmFLwg_m9BAlwgASupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-accessible-technology-podcast/donations
