Kryptos said: Elon Musk is also banning people explicitly for making fun of him, apparently calling out engineers publicly and firing them for responding, and earlier today posted a meme telling his employees to suck his dick.
Also, Richard Spencer, everyone's favorite punchable nazi, is now back on Twitter.
So Twitter is as free as any dictatorship.

Two questions:
1. What is Elon Musk censoring? 2. What line have I redrawn?

You can also answer the two questions above.
1. Mostly the same shit that Jack Dorsey and co were 2. The metric by which Musk will establish free speech on the platform

I'm not disagreeing with you. Elon's not banning people for posting content the other social media platforms are banning people for. He's banning them for breaking Twitter's new rules, which doesn't include censorship of legal content.

People making fun of Elon Musk
They are still banning racists and homophobes. I got someone banned just last week for calling a black person a monkey. Pretty sure that’s not illegal.

Like I said, you don’t know what you’re talking about. The rules haven’t changed as far as I can tell, except now you can be banned for making fun of the owner
I wouldn’t be surprised if account suspensions are at an all time high. A lot of people are pushing the limits since musk took over.

Thank you. Finally an answer.

One big change is that now you can tweet Russian facts again.

For sure that's happening. By people don't like the idea of pro-Russian voices on Twitter, or Trump returning to Twitter.

I think it’s on you to prove your claim that twitter’s censorship has become more lenient since musk took over.

They're not censoring controversial topics anymore like Facebook, YouTube, and the old Twitter used to do, like pro-Ukraine material for example.
Obviously, they're going to fire employees who publicly speak out against the new free speech policy, not because they object to free speech, but because why keep employees who are against the company's goals?

Have they? I’ve seen no evidence that is true. I’ve seen a lot of people banned because they thought their content was permissible again, and it wasn’t.

Reminds me of Trump saying every news network that chose not to air his announcement speech live an enemy of free speech.

I posted the link to the tweet in the right winger thread but Musk is now stating that all “hate/negative” tweets will be invisible unless you search for them.
So…censorship of basically anything he considers “negative.” Solid metric.

I don’t get it. If you’re leaving it up, then you’ve still got hate speech on your platform that people will find and amplify
