Fuck Musk but governments in general are probably happy he’s giving them an excuse to ban what was once a powerful platform for activism and organization.
On the flip side, government officials are also now very unhappy that Twitter won’t do their bidding like it did previously, censoring things like the Hunter Biden laptop and spreading the “Russian election collusion” conspiracy theory.
The point was that the government literally used social media sites to censor information that they didn’t like. These sites (and news networks) were made to report that it was made up, misinformation, didn’t exist, a far right conspiracy theory. Turns out it was very real.
Are there still people denying that twitter/facebook/etc weren’t instructed to censor certain stories leading up to the last US election (hunter laptop), while leaving and even promoting actual misinformation (russia)?
