@drewharwell Freedom's an anti-semite, anyway, so maybe it was justified...

@toxtethogrady @drewharwell He’s part of a non-profit focusing on teaching the holocaust in muslim schools. Is this penance for previous antisemitism or am I missing something?

@bflipp @drewharwell Didn't he change his name for some strange reason?

@toxtethogrady @drewharwell He changed his name when he became a US citizen after being expelled from Turkey for speaking out about his home country’s human rights violations.

@drewharwell wow don’t tell me you’re actually seeing real issues beyond false equivalencies!

@drewharwell I will remain very critical of US social media platform behavior around data collection, but I hold out hope that none have ever banned anyone for being "critical of the US". It's practically all they do on some of the platforms if you depend on search.

@drewharwell did we figure out how msnbc canceled The Phil Donahue show, one of its highest rated shows, because he was critical of the Iraq war?
