Censorship upon xTwitter!

[Azza ☠]

What should be done about the massive increase of censorship upon xTwitter ever since Elon Musk had taken it over?

Elon Musk is sueing CCDH (Center for Countering Digital Hate) for being a non-profit company which reports hate speech upon various social media platforms and bullying them into silence from saying it's greatly increased upon Twitter.

This is clearly CENSORSHIP!

"I hope that even my worst critics remain on Twitter, because that is what free speech means"

- Elon Musk upon Twitter at 4:12am - Apr 26, 2022

Guy has gone from 'privileged mind who will bring humanity to the stars' to 'Spoiled rich kid, laughing stock of the internet, who can't even manage a lemonade stand' within a year.

He's already doing a hell of a great job at that himself.

That's a freakingly expensive, very little high ground he bought.

My opinion of twitter is now in the trash can, since you need an account to read anything.

One amazing thing Elon did achieve is to run Twitter's value to the ground without even having to ban porn from the platform.

He made managed to do a Tumblr without a Pornpocalypse.

I find it funny that people who think Elon "ruined" Twitter at too high a cost... were perfectly fine at Twitter self destructing financially for ~years~ making a negative profit... but was more in step with their bias / agenda views...

So in the end it's not about "value" or who's in charge it's about what information and how it's working "for" or "against" them by what it's putting out... pretty obvious

Never forget, Elon Musk is the one who introduced political propaganda and bias on that platform. It's very simple, actually. Actions speak louder than words and as soon as someone declares themselves as some kind of a savior who is perfectly unbiased and fights against political propaganda, you know it's going to be the exact opposite. The same applies to anything, really.

Wow... so.. you've never been on Twitter then?

No... politic propaganda and bias was put since Twitter was started... and peaked in 2016 when one political party strong-armed Twitter to censor and silence the other political party...

Elon just brought it back to equal... and not both sides have equal footing again and have to answer equally to what they put on it... even the presidency has to stay on the level and is held to the mark.

Then where was the hurry? Why overspend all that money to achieve something that was happening anyway?
Why spend 40k billion on a money bleeding company to have it keep bleeding?

It's not precisely spare change what Elon is bleeding with Twitter.

Of course nothing I say is going to change the opinion on whoever is invested into Elon personality cult, where everything he does is a master 5D chess movement.

I'm not invested... tho I kinda wish I'd bought a not-a-flamethrower before they had a cult following... guess I'll just have to settle with a BBQ.

also why do I have to be some hype-fanboy to have an opinion on this? I've only even used twitter a handful of times ffs. it's a stupid platform that promotes quick negative quips and makes long-form discussion awkward and confusing.

Wasn't aiming at anyone in the thread in particular, more of general statement about that kind of proof who invest into a public figure and idolise it into paroxism. People who cannot see their idol do any wrong.

maybe not... in that case I'm not sure what that has to do with the points I was making?

why did you quote me in the form of a reply if it was so general?
