Latest / Radio Baloney - The Richie Baloney Show! / Elon Musk To Fund Lawsuits For People Fired Over Tweets
Transcript
- 0:00So the day that Elon Musk took over Twitter now X, that was a
- 0:04good day for free speech. I know it's not been perfect, but it's
- 0:08been a lot better, and the good news keeps coming. Elon Musk is
- 0:13at war on a couple of fronts here against cancel culture. Here's the headline.
- 0:17Elon Musk vows to go to war against companies that punish employees for activity
- 0:24on X. Here's what he said. If you were unfairly treated by your
- 0:28employer due to posting or liking something on this platform, we will fund your
- 0:34legal bill, no limit. Please let us know. So this is huge,
- 0:40massive news because if you want to create loyalty to a platform, this
- 0:45is going to do it. I mean, has anybody ever felt like the
- 0:48people running a social media company actually cared about the users, cared about their
- 0:54rights, their fundamental rights like free speech? Not so much now, of
- 0:59course you do. You have the up and commers, especially Rumble, You've
- 1:03got bit Shoot Odyssey minds, and they're all very good on free speech.
- 1:07But for one of the big original social media companies, this is historic,
- 1:12in my opinion. Here from Austin Alred, Elon understands that nothing changes behavior
- 1:19in the United States faster than the threat of legal action, to which Elon
- 1:23Musk replied, and we won't just sue, it will be extremely loud,
- 1:27and we will go after the boards of directors of the companies too. So
- 1:33he's giving a reason for companies to be wary of the canceling people for thinking
- 1:38things that they have a right to think or saying things that they have a
- 1:41right to say. Now we've already seen Jordan Peterson invite Elon Musk to join
- 1:46his legal battle against the Canadian regulator at threatening his license, and Gina Crano
- 1:51jumping into the fray as well. And while these would create a lot of
- 1:55publicity, I kind of feel like it maybe against the spirit of the thing,
- 2:00which would be to help people who aren't famous and don't have a lot
- 2:04of their own money for lawyers or are able to crowdfund. Not that you
- 2:07know, these aren't you know, worthy causes, but I just wonder if
- 2:10it violates the spirit of the thing a little bit. And on that note,
- 2:15we did see this from libs of TikTok. Kara Creates was fired for
- 2:19following libs of TikTok. Limited Run Games fired an employee for following libs of
- 2:24TikTok on Twitter. Hope Elon Musk X can help her, And here she
- 2:30links to a Daily Wire story a transactivist appears to get woman fired for following
- 2:36libs of TikTok other conservatives on Twitter, and Elon Musk responded. He said,
- 2:40Kara, is that accurate? She said, yes. It was led
- 2:45by someone who dug through my tweets and found a single one from twenty sixteen
- 2:50regarding hesitation of people taking advantage of the bathroom discussion. Started a witch hunt
- 2:55and I was fired the same day. Happy to chat more about it if
- 3:00you're interested, he said, great, let's have at it now. I
- 3:04said that Elon's fighting cancel culture on multiple fronts, and here's another one.
- 3:08X filed a lawsuit last week against a nonprofit organization accusing it of unlawfully accessing
- 3:15private data and cherry picking posts to show a rise in hate speech on the
- 3:22social media platform under Musk's ownership. Filed in the US District Court of the
- 3:28Northern District of California, the social media company formerly known as Twitter claims the
- 3:32Center for Countering Digital Hate, a British nonprofit that research is so called online
- 3:39hate and disinformation. They're also an American nonprofit as well, orchestrated a scare
- 3:46campaign to drive away advertisers from the X platform by publishing so called hate speech
- 3:53reports. Yeah, there's a million of these nonprofits and they're always, without
- 3:58exception, our left ideologues. In fact, let's take a look at the
- 4:02website for the Center for Countering Digital Hate about our mission is to protect human
- 4:09rights and civil liberties online. Well, the biggest civil liberty of all anywhere
- 4:14is free speech, freedom of expression. So what they're doing, in fact,
- 4:17is attacking human rights and civil liberties online, says social media companies erode
- 4:24basic human rights and civil liberties by enabling the spread of online hate and disinformation.
- 4:30So online hate and disinformation, online hate is, of course, as
- 4:33we know now anything that leftists don't like, and disinformation is truth they don't
- 4:40like. And once this on their website, Center for Countering Digital Hate submission
- 4:46to the White House, the CCdh shared research and policy recommendations on technology facilitated
- 4:53gender based violence, including our Star framework with the White House Task Force to
- 5:01address online harassment and abuse. So apparently the Center for Countering Digital Hate doesn't
- 5:06have a copy editor. So what is it technology facilitated gender based violence?
- 5:12Well, I'm guessing that it's not violence at all. It's name calling online
- 5:16or just disagreements online. But I have to say, what a surprise that
- 5:20there's a connection with the White House here. Isn't that odd? Or maybe
- 5:25it's not so odd with everything we learned from the Twitter files about the Biden
- 5:28administration interfering with people's First Amendment rights, let's see it says here online hate
- 5:34social media platforms have become safe spaces for abuse and harmful content, making them
- 5:41potentially hostile environments for normal users. Hate not only denies those being abused the
- 5:46ability to freely express themselves online, it can lead to substantial direct offline harm
- 5:53and violence. Well, doxing and calls for violence are not allowed on Twitter.
- 5:58And as for this hate, which again is just whatever they decided is
- 6:00it could just be a disagreement, it says that it not only denies those
- 6:04being abused the ability to freely express themselves online. No, it doesn't.
- 6:09Even genuine hate doesn't do that. You can still express yourself online. You
- 6:15can express yourself, you can walk away from the computer. It doesn't really
- 6:18matter. This is all just a thinly veiled attempt to silence people they don't
- 6:24agree with. We all know that. Let's go a little bit deeper on
- 6:28the Center for Countering Digital Hate. Here it says campaigns against Google advertisements for
- 6:33media organizations. The CCdh has campaigned to restrict the reach of the following media
- 6:40organizations by targeting their use of the Google advertising platform. So I wonder if
- 6:46any of these have something in common at Brightbart News, CNS News, Hot
- 6:49Air, NewsBusters, Newsmax, MRCTV, Red State, Tucci, The Daily
- 6:56Wires, Zero Hedge. Yeah, I don't think I have to tell you
- 7:00what we might notice from a list like this. It says here that the
- 7:02CCdh wrote an article asking Google to stop running advertisements for what they CCdh called
- 7:10quote, racist, disinformation and conspiracies relating to GUESSU George Soros, because obviously
- 7:16George Soros is a far left hero, so you're not allowed to criticize him.
- 7:21Also claims that doctor Fauci's NIH funded a laboratory in Wuhan. How about
- 7:28that they were trying to get media companies banned from advertising on Google because of
- 7:33claims that doctor Fauci's NIH funded a laboratory in Wuhan. I guess they don't
- 7:41follow the news very closely. In major shift, NIH admits funding risky virus
- 7:45research in Wuhan. That's right, So I guess maybe it's not so hard
- 7:48to believe that these are the guys that are advising the White House. How
- 7:51about this? The US House of Representatives Judiciary Committee has sent a letter to
- 7:57CCdh regarding to what extent the Executive Branch has coerced and colluded with companies and
- 8:03other intermediaries to censor speech, and requested all documents and communications between the CCdh
- 8:11and the US Executive Branch or social media companies a list of employees, contractors,
- 8:18or grants received. The committee stated in its letter that it has the
- 8:22power to investigate issues related to the violation of the civil liberties of citizens of
- 8:28the United States. So those are the kinds of forces allied with the White
- 8:33House that Elon Muski is going to war with, And those are the kinds
- 8:37of organizations that try to get people canceled for having the wrong opinions. So
- 8:41he's fighting them. And if you get fired from your job because of something
- 8:46that you put on X, Elon might be fighting for you anyway. That's
- 8:50all I got to say about that. Please subscribe, like and share.
- 8:52Sharing really helps me out. I thank you for that. I will see
- 8:56you next time. Two
