THREAD: In 2020, I led a letter to @YouTube asking them them to take steps to make sure kids couldn’t easily access "How To Tie a Noose" videos.

No action was taken.

Today, on #SaferInternetDay, I demand action, and I won't stop fighting until the videos come down.

✨Personal news!✨

I'm thrilled to join @VoteRiders this week as the organization's new CEO & Executive Director. Voter ID laws place very real barriers in front of eligible voters, and these laws are on the rise across the country.

Sleepy Joe sure is doing a lot from his basement, huh?

[JedOber @JedOber]

@joeyhunziker @amorphalien Are you willing to have an open discussion about this? If you are I would love to talk you about it. I think I have a pretty good perspective of the debate from talking to both sides about it pretty actively, but would like to understand yours more

[JedOber @JedOber]

@joeyhunziker @AishaThinker @DrTeeeee Appreciate you weighing in, Joey, and respect your opinion, but I certainly don't agree with it. Happy to talk you more about why that is if you're willing to listen to my view as well

[JedOber @JedOber]

@AishaThinker @JoshuaH_DC @DrTeeeee Awesome. Thank you!

[JedOber @JedOber]

@AishaThinker @JoshuaH_DC @DrTeeeee In the meantime, can you point me to some resources to better educate myself on the substance of the issue? I think you said others have written about it. I'd love to read anything you recommend

[JedOber @JedOber]

@AishaThinker @JoshuaH_DC @DrTeeeee Sure. I'll certainly try!

[JedOber @JedOber]

@AishaThinker @JoshuaH_DC @DrTeeeee Did you reach out to them off of twitter to do that?

[JedOber @JedOber]

@JoshuaH_DC @AishaThinker @DrTeeeee Yeah, I agree. Blocking is definitely not productive. I would love to hear how them advocating for schools to reopen is an act of white supremacist violence. If you don't want to have that conversation here please DM me and I'd love to talk over the phone about it

[JedOber @JedOber]

@JoshuaH_DC @AishaThinker @DrTeeeee Yeah, like I said. I was hoping you could actually provide some substance to your tweet about why it's an act of white supremacists violence. If you look at what I wrote below, I literally asked for that.

[JedOber @JedOber]

@AishaThinker @DrTeeeee Why not instead of just calling it white supremacist violence you explain it for folks in that same public forum? I'd like to know more about what you actually meant.

[JedOber @JedOber]

@AishaThinker @DrTeeeee I said I didn't think it was the appropriate strategy to have a productive conversation with someone. It didn't seem to work. I didn't say it wasn't appropriate.

[JedOber @JedOber]

@AishaThinker @DrTeeeee I feel like there's an important substantive debate to be had about the issue and, unfortunately, that's lost when the conversation devolves into a far more unproductive space, which is my view of what happened here.

[JedOber @JedOber]

@AishaThinker @DrTeeeee That's fair. So do you also think the President of the United States, the incoming secretary of education, Mayor Bowser, Chancellor Ferebee, Dr. Fauci and others who have advocated for schools to reopen are also guilty of this same offense?

[JedOber @JedOber]

@aliciasanchez @AishaThinker @DrTeeeee Yeah, I don't think that and I don't think I said that, right? Happy to have you explain it to me. I certainly don't think being called a white supremacist is worse than white supremacy and I actually think the conversation she wanted to have is worth having.
