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.

Just because you’ve redrawn your own personal line in the sand on free speech, to conform with whatever Musk’s approach to moderation is at any given time, doesn’t mean I was tricked by the mainstream media.



Two questions:

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

At this point the whole "well duh you've been lied to by the MSM" is a logical fallacy.



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.

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.

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.

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
