Following this, the former Fear Factor observed, “That is not in that context harassment. That is a very specific opinion that she has.” In addition, he pointed out that Murphy’s statement was biologically correct and ideologically driven. Later on, the veteran podcaster suggested that the division between the two was “not clear cut“.
“We have a divide here. We have a divide between the conservative estimation of what’s happening and then the liberal definition of it,” Rogan further added.
While the American attorney agreed, she also detailed Twitter’s policies. Subsequently, Tim Pool pointed out that in ideological involved arguments on Twitter, Twitter chose to ban one of those ideologies.
Following this, Vijaya Gadde again explained the intricacies of policies. Thus, she cleared that repeated posting of once-flagged content is also a violation of the rules.
Despite this explanation, Rogan declared that it was a good example of an ideologically based rule and later on, called the policies ‘hypocritical’.
Musk’s recent Twitter takeover and expected changes
The billionaire Elon Musk recently bought the social media platform for a $44 billion deal. Since then, the voices of drastic changes have echoed and the users are expecting a “freer” platform than the old regime.
And amusingly, one of the first steps after “freeing the bird” from its cage, the billionaire fired the old regime’s executives that included Vijaya Gadde.
