I didn't really read the thread but I just want to say democracy dies without Twitter. thx.
Elon Musk Didn’t Just Do Turkey’s Bidding. Censoring for Strongmen Is Now a Pattern.
Free speech—unless a country doesn’t really do free speech.
free speech absolutist except in countries that don't do the free speech thing...
what a disaster
Not sure about the source, but pretty fucked if true…

the next time will be the first time !!
)Actual censorship from Twitter......... crickets from Grape Boi. Partisan BS like the Twitter Files ...... days bitching
Who cares?
Twitter just proved again that it’s a disaster.
Had it not been reported almost no by would have even known Rhonda made an announcement there. 700,000 viewers worldwide is a non-event.
What would you do?
Turn on the firehose on get your company completely blocked for entire countries ?
The hypocrisy is the issue. Also still denying Musk got red pilled?
Well, previous ownership only complied with 50% of censorship requests. Seems to be a purposeful strategy by the self proclaimed "Free Speech Absolutist". No matter how much you fangirl for him, Musk does care about you or any of us.
The nature of the requests would dictate the % removed - blanket %'s don't really tell the whole story.
You seem to love not thinking
Pathetic, the lengths you go to defend this guy.
How is it is weak? You guys loved that argument until Elon took over. Plus that type of activity is nothing new. Google and Amazon do plenty of pandering in China, Saudi Arabia, etc. Not to mention that the social media giants did the dirty work of the US government with endless covid propaganda, they just labeled it "content moderation" and "covid misinformation".
My point has always been that these companies have the right to do what they want, but that this can also be problematic for society when these companies have such a strong ability to influence public opinion and favor a certain political stance. Or even worse, do the actual bidding of governments themselves. The left didn't care about this . . . . Until Elon took over
