@Brendan O’Brien: Facts are “right wing” is the scape goat everywhere when it comes to use common sense. You don’t like illegal immigration? You are right wing. You don’t like spending millions on “development help” to other useless countries? Right wing. You don’t like the fact that Ireland is friend with terrorists groups? Right wing. Nobody likes Brendan? Right wing! Brendan has no friends! Righttt wing!!!

@Brendan O’Brien: in x.com the adults define what is fact , go back to fb

@Brendan O’Brien: If you actually believe that, then you are beyond naive.

Those with the power to apply censorship or penalties against publishers of media/information online decide what is or isn’t deemed misinformation or disinformation, which is why they continue to try to regulate the Internet itself and all the platforms on it.

Facts have no bearing on it, in practice facts that are inconvenient to the powerful but true, are referred to as mal-information…

@Dvsespaña: Dis/misinformation doesn’t objectively exist, then?

@Brendan O’Brien: You got scammed buying magical beans and vowed only to trust RTE News for the rest of your life. Your mother is ashamed of you.

@Brendan O’Brien: Faucci told the world masks don’t work, 20 minutes later he’s advocating mask mandates. Should he have been allowed on every MSM channel to spread his opinions? While experts on the field were banned from twitter for expressing their opinions?

@Brendan O’Brien: Dude, it’s depressing to see these piranha accounts swarm around you for simply pointing out that factual information matters. Musk plays fast and loose with ‘free speech’ and bans or buries Twitter users who criticise him, contradict his obvious agenda, or who offer a balanced view point. Musk is a damaged man looking to spread his own personal damage to the online world, both to feed his demons and distract from his gross failings as a man and businessman.

@Brendan O’Brien: I didn’t say any such thing. Disinformation has always existed and was and is primarily propagated by governments and intelligence agencies.

But the thrust of current censorship and the desire to impose total online censorship, isn’t motivated by the protection of national interests.

It is driven by globalist interests that want to silence all legitimate dissent and are using politicians and judges to silence their own countries population and the false flag of the protection of children and the vulnerable as an excuse for draconian overreach.

@Mick O’K: What do you think should happen to those that spread lies, lies that lead to harm, lies that lead to death?

Should they be held fully accountable by the Justice System?

But even then it is too late for those harmed, for the dead, their loved ones, their friends and colleagues.

https://www.factcheck.org/2022/08/correcting-misinformation-about-dr-fauci/

Here YOU are still spreading lies about Fauci

Lies which will have led to suffering, to death. Lies which no doubt YOU were spreading at the time. Lies from you which will have led to suffering.

So how do you think you should pay for the harm you have done?

Now, would it not have been better if those spreading such lies were shut down at the time?

How much suffering could have been avoided?
How much death could have been avoided?

@Dvsespaña: But that is a belief, with little to support it.

While there is much evidence that “bad players” are generating and spreading lies to destabilize our societies and for their own profit or gain.

russia would be an example of the former, while oil companies would be an example of the latter.

@thomas molloy: “And what about hidden information ‘
What a lot of bs.
” The truth is out there”

@Vince Cable: you obviously have a very small micky

@ItWasLikeThatWhenIGotHere: If you are seeking to define the absolute embodiment of a bad player generating and spreading lies to destabilise, continents, nations, regions, and societies to foster conflict for gain or profit, then look no further than the USA and its corporate backers. That’s not hyperbole or misinformation, because history itself since World War two illustrates it perfectly.

@William Slevin: what complete fecking bs you sprout

@Brendan O’Brien: Nonsense.. Facts were irrelevant to the government as they tried to push the referendum through.. It has been proven that they mislead the Irish people. Now that is a fact Brendan. RTE also engage is misinformation and misleading facts.. one of the anti immigration rallies in Dublin a few months ago, they reported in their 88 word article, that a small crowd of several hundred people were present. In fact it was several thousand .. Irish Examiner reported in excess of 5,000.. So ” facts” can be an irrelevance to all sides it would seem.. when you have an agenda / narrative to push.

@sean weir: Editors selecting and omitting news and different opinions is an issue. Large numbers of people rely solely on RTÉ news and think they are fully informed.

@ItWasLikeThatWhenIGotHere: I destroyed you in a previous article, now you’re back for more? The lump that won’t flush lol

@William Slevin: At least invent another account to reply to my comment. As soon as I see your account name replying I can just image what you’re going to resort to. Blah, blah, blah!

@William Slevin: @William Slevin: The fact check has aged very well, for it is the truth.

The claim made by “Muck O’K” is still a lie, is it not?

No matter what spin you want to put on it.

There are some things we can take for granted – russians, christo-fascists, israelis and US Republicans lie

And lie.
And lie.

You lot don’t seem capable of anything else.

So you need a platform that allows you to lie with impunity.

@Alex: in a post about ‘ facts’ you claim that “ Ireland is friends with terrorists”. Care to give us evidential facts behind that statement. Or shall I just put it down to right wing ranting????

@Dvsespaña: @Dvsespaña: I don’t know what point you’re trying to make.

Perhaps it is merely distraction or an attempt at deflection.

Either way, the only ones who need a platform that allows lies are those that intend to lie.

@Alex: Clown. Fact.

@William Slevin: No matter how you to to spin it, multiple fact checks show that these claims made about Fauci are lies.

Which you continue to spread, in keeping with your nature, and your mission.

Do you think the russian will ever be able to overcome its nature, its National Disease?
Do you think christi-fascists will ever be able to face the truth, the truth about themselves?
Do you think US Republicans will ever be able to shed their racism?

@ItWasLikeThatWhenIGotHere: there is video footage of him saying masks don’t work. There is video footage of him saying masks do work. Post whatever links you want. His actions speak for themself

@William Slevin: Noting that Russians and christo-fascists lie is simply being aware of their nature

It does not incite hatred

Despite you attempts to buckle reality

Which again proves my point.

The only ones who need a platform that permits, and even encourages lying, are those that lie.

@Mick O’K: Do you believe you have some level of intelligence?

If you do, you will have already fact-checked these videos.
And know they are false, i.e make false claims.

So there are 2 possibilities
1) You simply took these at face value, and chose to believe them, without any “do your own research”, e en though there was considerable noise being generated about them.
Does that make you seem rational and intelligent?
2) You now know these are false claims but somehow are unable to admit you are, and were, wrong. Particularly to yourself
Not only that, but knowing you are wrong you still decide to continue spreading these lies.
What does that make of you?

Now, do tell us, what do you think should happen to those who spread lies that results in harm, in suffering, in death?

@North Phone Bowe: Irish media are painting Hamas and Hezbollah as victims not the few million Jews surrounded by 900,000,000 Muslims

@thomas molloy: that is something I have never seen or read in any Irish media. I fact I regularly read and see condemnation of Hamas and hezbollah. Are you on the Zionist path of conflating the innocent Palestinians and now Lebanese civilians being murdered daily as either of those 2 groups.

@Paul Murphy: That’s how it started with the Nazis and USSR.

@Emily Dalton: Yes it should my little snowflakes. I am for 100% freedom of expression but 100% consequences of what you said. That’s how it should work. You deny publicly the SHOA took place like many Muslim in Ireland? Fine you can say it, but here is your fine of 10000€ for spreading lies.

@Alex: No that is not how it started with the Nazis.

The Nazis started by telling lies.
Lies that led to appalling abuses and crimes against humanity.

Do you believe that the Nazis should have been allowed to fabricate and spread those lies?

Do you believe such lies should be allowed today?

@William Slevin: You simply do not like your lies and other nonsense having been shown for what they are.

So.now, would you care to answer the questions that “Alex” is running away from?

Do you believe the Nazis should have been allowed to fabricate and spread the lies that led to so much suffering and abuses?
Do you believe such lies should be allowed today?

@Emily Dalton: That is a popular misconception propogated by those that do or wish to censor free expression.

The only things that should be censored are slander, libel, defamation, and incitement to violence or illegal activities, all of which are already illegal or punishable through existing legal measures.

Disagreement or hurt feelings because someone else refuses to go along with “your truth” are not legitimate justifications for censorship of anyone’s opinions, no matter how objectionable they are to you.

@William Slevin: kevvy & the factor 50s don’t like truth or facts— suspect they’ll ‘cancel’ you again real soon

@William Slevin: Do you believe that lies like those spread by the Nazis of former times should be allowed to be spread in the here and now?

That is a simple question.

Yes or no?

@William Slevin: No, you didn’t.

You avoided answering.

So, do YOU believe Nazis should be allowed to spread their vile lies?

Yes, or no?

You are to cowardly to own up, aren’t you?

@Pewpew Tin: not sure, haven’t spoken with her in 20 years

@Alex: not quite, they targeted ethnic and religious groups and then made up their own reasons for doing so., but then again it’s happening here with the aid of X.

@J Ven: so you endorse Ali Selims right to free speech and spreading hatred along with others who attempt to radicalise people who may not have cared otherwise. X is a very dangerous tool and has far exceeded its original intentions. I’m not for censorship per say to Musk must be taught to rein in some of the more extreme stuff

@William Slevin: define fascism?

@Alex: And yet you have never been able to point out one single lie I have told.

@William Slevin: Billy boy the only reason the south African racist is supporting the orange thing for president is because the tax break finishes next year ,you claim to be a republican but you hate women , mna na what

@William Slevin: Still not able to point out a single lie that you claim I have told.

Which adds yet another lie to *your* tally.

@William Slevin: I never said any of those things.

You eejit.

*You*, on the other hand, did say some of them.

Are you forgetting which lies you told, and to whom?

@William Slevin: Unlike some on here, I have never asked for any comment to be deleted.

I defeat your lies and nonsense as I find them.

Anyway, what is your real name?
Who is the one currently posting on the “William Slevin” account?

You see that is the problem of having multiple people “manning” accounts – you don’t always know what the others say. Particularly when you go off-script.
It’s also a bolig problem for the compulsive liar, for they forget their own lies.

You need to keep better notes, and try to do a more comprehensive handover.

@Daniel Skelton: It’ll hurt his ego, not his wallet.

@ItWasLikeThatWhenIGotHere: It’s not the law, it’s the interpretation to control the information, not the same. No law in Brazil is saying that twitter needs to shut down, judges bent the law for it, typical from leftist. I can see your few braincells didn’t get that information.

@Alex: Twitter was only shut down because it refused to comply with a court order.

If Twitter had no thumbed its nose at the courts then it would not have been shut down.

These things are really not hard to undderstand.

@ItWasLikeThatWhenIGotHere: The court order has no legal basis aside the judge feelings. If you bothered reading it, you will see they invoke laws but those laws shouldn’t work for twitter case. You are so thick you can’t understand that it seems.

@ItWasLikeThatWhenIGotHere: Braindead like you can’t under anything in today’s world. Can’t even look further than the tip of your nose, so pathetic and sad at the same time.

@Alex: Point out the flaw in the ruling then “Alex”.

@ItWasLikeThatWhenIGotHere: Jheez, its says as much in all the articles about it, I don’t see why people are so hysterical. this shouldn’t even be news ffs

@William Slevin: having a little ‘conflab’ with yourself there Billy?

@Darth O’Leary: if Fine Gael were far right, more people would vote for them

@Darth O’Leary: tell me you know what dog whistle is, without telling me what dog whistle is

@Darth O’Leary: dope, FF clown

@William Slevin: I see my other post post was deleted. Ho hum. Some people on here love censoring opinion they don’t align with. I agree with you, William. My point is that I would never blame a working class immigrant for wanting a better life and choosing Ireland the way Simon Harris is. The fault lies squarely with FFG and now they want to shift the blame. It’s obviously an electioneering tactic. Shameful imo

@William Slevin: it’s not like people were not warning the government of the integration/accommodation issues facing the country for years now. It’s all by design and now FFG are turning on the migrants to suit their electioneering agenda. I’ve always said a cap on immigration should be agreed and a proper system for integration be put in place but they’re not going to actually do that. Simon Harris is just stirring the hate pot to win a few votes

@ItWasLikeThatWhenIGotHere: I agree with you. My point is that FFG appear to be shifting the focus off themselves and on to immigrants. This 1930′s retro vibe is oh so predictable from the Blueshirts and should have been expected when Simon Harris declared that he was bringing the party “back to it’s roots”

@Mick O’K: m are you a support for the crying lying treacherous sex offender fraudster orange thing

@William Slevin: What he says and what he does. He has made many vile posts on Twitter – you have to be well aware of them yourselves – and his companies have had to pay out a lot over racism, which you all should also be aware of.

@William Slevin: Are you really trying to deny that Apartheid Boy’s companies have not been ordered by the courts to pay hundreds of millions in compensation for racism?

Are you really trying to pretend that*you* are unaware of this guy’s tweets?

If you really admit to knowing so little, how can you make any of the claims you do?
Although that would explain a great deal, for ignorance would explain all your positions.

@William Slevin: Why does the date of the fact check disturb you even more?

Fauci was accused by the usual wingnuts of having said in early 2020 that masks were useless, or something to that effect.

A fact check – one of many, from various times and organizations – I posted a link to shows this to be false.

And here’s a little exercise for you. One even you can do, and which might make you seem a little less of a fool in the future, one which just might prevent you from spreading obvious lies
Try looking up something like “Musk racism”.

And do try to understand the words you read.
