@mtaibbi So why did you refuse to criticize Musk for censoring Turkish and Indian opposition media figures? Your hypocrisy is pretty impressive

What was the last financially costly ethical decision you made?

If I’’d been in this for dollars I wouldn’t have broken with Musk over his deamplification of Substack. I was not willing to sell out other Substack writers, which includes you, right? Maybe I should have.

@DeskPopper69 @mtaibbi I have been attacked extensively by left and right and I still didn’t sell out all my principles for dollars, thanks.

The statement is part of a conversation that touches upon the issue of censorship and the ethical decisions of public figures in relation to their financial interests. The tone is confrontational and critical, and the intent seems to be to challenge the consistency of a public figure's actions with their stated principles. The content addresses the issue of whether financial incentives influence the public discourse on censorship.

  1. Principle 2:
    I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.
    The statement respects the privacy and dignity of others and does not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech. [+1]
  2. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement engages in constructive criticism but borders on personal attack, questioning the sincerity of the public figure's ethical stance. [-1]
