> My theory is that when people who lean right are complaining about a "woke agenda" at Twitter they are complaining mostly about trans activism. Twitter shouldn't ban people on behalf of a corporation; it has nothing to do with "woke" or not "woke". This is a problem with all media, advertising groups have formed mobs that intimidate organizations like Twitter, and other media outlets that don't give in to their corporate agenda. It might sound great that your agenda and the corporations agenda are aligned at this moment in time, but I assure you they are fair-weather friends. They wouldn't skip a beat stomping all over the LGBTQ+ agenda if it was profitable for them. A world where groups of corporations control free speech through collective intimidation is literally a dystopian science fiction trope. So IMHO, it doesn't matter where you lean politically, screw Eli Lilly and others like them. |

And a world where Eli Lilly is forced to advertise on Twitter is totalitarian. Their only agenda in this instance is not supporting fake news. They should be applauded.
