It's weird you got downvoted; you're correct, that chat bot was spewing hate speech at full blast, it was on the news everywhere. (For the uninformed: it didn't get unplugged for being "PR-unfriendly", it got unplugged because nearly every response turned into racism and misogyny in a matter of hours)

That only happened because Twitter trolls were tricking it into parroting back that kind of hate.

Ah so you love censorship when you agree with it?

Is any time any person (or company) can't say whatever they like with no consequences censorship to you?

Are you a free speech absolutist? Is it free speech to falsely yell "Fire!" in a crowded theatre?

Free speech is a liberal value. Nazis don't get to hide behind it every time they're called out.

Helping prevent racism and Nazi propaganda at scale protects actual people.

Censoring tiananmen square or the January 6th insurrection just helps consolidate power for authoritarians to make people's lives worse.

That's not censorship, that's basic hygiene.
