Joe Rogan with Tim Pool, Jack Dorsey and Vijaya Gadde (Twitter Lawyer). This is what we thought we were gonna get the first time. Tim takes them to task and Joe (for the most part) backs him up. This is the frontlines of the culture wars. I urge you to watch the entire thing. Especially members of this community. Who do you think did themselves the most favors here?

Jack and Vijaya did themselves the most favors simply by showing up.

I did watch it. Heard of Tim Pool from other platforms but this is first time listening to him. He is courageous and wish there were more like him. But you can tell, whatever he's seen or reported on has maded him seem a liitle paranoid. We
probably all would be, in his shoes. If I get your meaning , doing themselves favors, it would be the Twitter CEO, Jack Dorsey. After listening to him, really believe his creation is being used in ways he couldn't have begun to imagine. An idealistic, apologetic Libertarian type, not responsible for any twits that use it.
Whether that is true or not who knows, but think many will see him in a more favorable light. He's not at all what I would of imagined. And make no mistake, Vijaya is the ruler in that fifedom.

I thought they all came away looking good.

Rogan - was a good referee... backed up Tim on occasion and reeled him in a couple times as well. Mostly, it was good for him to disprove the backlash from the last one.

Tim - comes across as fair to me. Seemed to ask all the right questions, even if he overreached on occasion. It’s important for Twitter (et al) to have to answer these types of questions asked in this manner. He felt like the right person to do it, although I’m admittedly low on other potential resources here, mainly because of his history, his demeanor, and his, what seems to me, integrity to attempt to argue in good faith.

Twitter - I thought they came out ahead because they showed up. They didn’t have to. They apologized when necessary and contextualized where possible. Some things seem obviously indefensible, and I don’t recall them attempting to defend themselves in those instances. They are clearly in uncharted waters, as Joe points out, so the answers aren’t obvious or easy. They are constrained - at least they say they are, and it seems logical - by resources and scale. It was incredibly smart and necessary for Vijaya to be there, and she sounded not only incredibly intelligent and capable, but well-meaning and sincere (to me).

Everyone kept their cool, and acknowledged that it was a worthwhile endeavor... although Tim seems to be resigned to the fact that Twitter won’t be able to do what they say they want to do.

I’m looking forward to watching this later.

It's pretty good. I know some don't like Joe cause he can be a dope at times. Dude smoke copious amounts of ganja. He's guaranteed say dumb shit from time time. He did great here. Tim Pool was excellent, let his emotions get the better of him a few times but that's be expected. He has experienced some of the worst harassment out there.

Am I an idiot? I must be. If someone bullied me, or made me uncomfortable, for whatever reason, online..I'd just block them...why do I need someone to block FOR me??

You’re not an idiot, the best way to police and self moderate social media platforms is for people to start using the block or hide user functions far more often on the users who you dislike. This lets the user have his platform to engage with people who DO like and agree with them, without offending the easily offended. If someone is truly an arsehole or troll, they’ll eventually lose their entire audience to blocks and they’ll fade into obscurity and censor themselves. Social media platforms just need to popularise the block function, then tighten up security regarding multiple accounts. Using machine/device ID, mac/ip adress and other things to prevent users making multiple trolling accounts would solve the issue.

@Chris_P_Bacon EXACTLY...I don't understand why this is an issue...its just common sense

You are correct, at 70, I am a retired Network Admin, and agree with you. What I am confused about is why anyone would use any social media for serious life issues. I view twitter, especially, a comedic outlet. I do not need anyone "protecting" me from a few typed words! ????????? OH, and twitter IS left biased! That from an Independent Veteran from any particular dogma!

Eh, Rogan.

Not an easy choice there though...

Joe sounds so exhausted. I think he is waking up that people trust him to keep people honest

Tim usually calls out BS on both sides, objective for the most part
