I'm really not a huge Jordan Peterson fan because I feel like most of it what he says is just fluff, but I don't think what he said was suspension worthy.
Especially since isis still has their Twitter account.
So we clearly have a double standard here
I do think Peterson contradicts himself though
"I remember when pride was a sin"
But he admitted in his debates with Matt dillahunty and Sam Harris that he believes the Bible is just a collection of stories and metaphors

Let that sink in......
Twitter......approves ISIS Tweeting!

But not Trump, or Jordan Peterson.

Jordan does not agree with "the new normal".
He does not agree that "whatever sex you want to be today, is what you are"
He does not agree that "marriage is to be defied as Male and Female", tho NOT according to the gender you are born, as you might want to change that at some point".
Jordan doea not agree that castrating yourself and taking hormones to raise the pitch of your voice is proof you were right when you decided one day that you were no longer a male.

So, he does not play by all those '"new normal" rules, and so, Twitter does not allow you to not play by all those rules.

It has sunk in. I don't subscribe to ISIS sites and that includes Twitter.

A year ago Facebook (META) was at $379 a share and today it is at $160. That is a loss of 57% from the high. However, if they are convicted of hacking our election and working with foreign entities they will be guilty of treason and this company will be gone for good.

A year ago Twitter was at $78 a share, now it is at $38. That is a loss of 51% and the situation is just as precarious for them because the offer to buy the stock from Elon Musk at $54 a share is obviously falling through (otherwise the stock would be trading at $53) and they have no choice but to reveal they have lied to the SEC opening them up to lawsuits, not just from the government but from advertisers and investors.

These companies will soon be gone, the sooner the better, and this will be a lesson to others to not try and rebuild this accursed city of censorship and propaganda bots.

1. Win friends -- it has a had a huge impact on the MAGA crowd as they were freaked out about some of his transhumanism comments from both him and his girlfriend.

I think the real question is why would he want to pay $54 a share for something worth far less and that is the rub. In his offer he asked for evidence of the value of the company, same way someone who signs an offer to buy a house gets to then inspect the house prior to closing. This inspection will result in the total condemnation of Twitter. If you want to be the "arbiter of free speech" then you have to destroy these competing platforms first.

twitter allows free speech as long as you do not say anything that the algorithm does not like.

Musk hasn't bought Twitter as yet has he?

Would someone with his money and business reputation claiming he was going to buy Twitter have an effect on Twitters stock?

It is really more of a difference in approach. If a conservative doesn't like what you are talking about they simply move on to another topic or discussion. If a leftist doesn't like what you are talking about they simply want you silenced for life.

As far as I can tell, Twitter has never been a good platform for anyone that stands up for anything good.

Musk has made an offer to the board which they have accepted. That offer requires them to disclose enough of the inner workings of the company to justify the cost. He is simply asking for proof of claims they made to the SEC and on which he has based his purchase of a significant portion of their stock. They have not complied with this request, at least not publicly, and this has led to him saying he will have to adjust his offer if they cannot confirm. That is why we are currently trading about 30% below his offer price.

But it is worse than that. If it turns out they lied to the SEC that is a crime, and it opens the door for every stock holder to sue. Stockholders by definition have money and historically are very litigious, especially after already losing 50%. You can be absolutely sure they will sue.

So the people running twitter are between a rock and a hard place. If they comply they will be sued out of existence, if they don't comply they will be guilty of a crime and will also be sued out of existence since the deal won't go through unless they comply and that means all stock holders will lose out if they don't comply.

He wanted it to become a free speech platform. But where is Musk and where is free speech? Christians should absolutely boycott (1) all social media , (2) all propagandist TV and radio networks, (3) Disney and all its movies, and (4) Hollywood and all its trash.

For someone who speaks "just fluff" he stirs up a huge amount of controversy. The woke progressives hate him because he speaks the truth. He calls out socialism for what it is and decries the feminisation of Western society. He sticks it to the feminists and uncovers the lies that they use to disempower men. I don't agree with everything he says, but he makes more sense than most commentators when it comes to human behaviour and attitudes.

But getting Jordan to say what he really believes theologically is like trying to nail Jello to a wall. And his debates with Sam Harris and Matt dillahunty he admitted that he thinks the Bible is just stories and metaphors
So if the Bible is your stories and metaphors there's no such thing as sin right?

Twitter is a horrible format anyway because can only type like two sentences at a time.
That makes it pretty much impossible to have any reasonable discourse with anyone. People mostly just tweet stuff for shock value
