Elon Musk: Always A Douche

[Admiral Yi]

I think those promoting Twitter files are bemoaning about prior leadership doing such things while Musk has brought in similar policies. His rhetoric notwithstanding.

I don't follow your point.  Please rephrase.

Near bottom third of article which points out he castigates prior leadership for deamplification while his new policy does the same thing.

I semi-skimmed my way through that link and saw a wide variety of indictments.  Whereas you seem to be focusing on one.

The author claims he's Trumpist but he has hamstrung Charlie Kirk.  Kirk on the right.

And these nefarious Twitter files just seem like screenshots of examples of the moderation policy.

Yes, I am focusing on one. The one where his new policy is similar to old even though he lambasts the old.

[garbon]

Sorry I should clarify an aspect of policy that seems suspiciously similar. I don't think the policies are identical.

This whole "freedom of speech, not freedom of reach" is another one of those Orwellian end runs around the freedom of speech, in the template of "you have freedom of speech, but not freedom to something necessary for truly free speech".  It's like "we'll let you write books, we just won't let you publish them".  I wonder how long it's going to be before we reach the logical conclusion of "you have freedom of speech, but not freedom from summary execution as a result of your speech".

But this is the publisher. Its their right not to publish your books.
Quite a different thing to having a willing publisher and the government banning you from doing it

Seems like he went off the rails with little chance of recovery.

What a 1st class wanker.

The right's obsession with persecuting medical professionals is disgraceful.

I miss when it was mainly granola liberals that didn't trust medical science. Sure it sucked for the kid with measles who they tried to cure with crystals and magic water while the "listened to their bodies", but at least the general public was more or less safe.

Indeed.

And if I were still using Twitter that one comment from the owner would ensure I never used it again.

[celedhring]

Yeah, his behavior is becoming increasingly disgusting and I've decided I'll stop blessing it with my (very limited) patronage.
