So, hypothetically speaking, if Epstein were alive today, on parole and knowing what we know to be true you'd accept an invitation to Epstein's island?
Many people are now being bashed because they posed with Epstein in the past, where only the FBI and a few select people knew about his misdeeds. The vast majority of people did this as part of the usual rubbing elbows with the rich and powerful.

Depends. If was a reporter and this was for a story then definitely.
However you can't equate this to meeting foreign dignitaries whom you might disagree with on certain policies. Cooperation, trade, business and diplomacy trumps these concerns. Heck Biden went there with begging bowl in hand.

Talk about deflection. Stop trying to frame it. Knowing what we know, Epstein is on parole. You're invited to Epstein island. Are you going or not?

You're using a bad faith comparison. Epstein <> heads of state/investors. So you're not actually making any points here.

The adhoc nature,random bannings and rule updates after-the-fact and reversals disagree
He's flipflopping like a fish out of water
The flip-flopping is an unfortunate side effect of listening to the masses. He should have upheld the bans for 7 days. There was a crossover of those simply ree'ing and those against bans in principle.

They are still quite transparent about what is happening. This could not be said of twitter 1.0 where people often did not receive any reason at all.
