Hasn’t Elon been found multiple times suppressing people who say things he doesn’t like?

Censorship is when the French ask "what are you doing?"

Oh Rene...what are you doing with the painting of the fallen Madonna with the big boobies?

But Twitter censors all kinds of posts? There is no free speech on Twitter. Just try posting the word cisgendered and see what happens.

100% "X is an organized crime group". if you count brainwashing as a crime, which i do.

they're manipulating public opinion towards what the rich want to hear. it's all propaganda.

elon musk bought twitter to conduct "social engineering" after doing classical engineering before at tesla. it's all just a way to control what people think, and it's partially working. the people need to get off commercial social media and use something community-hosted, like the fediverse. to reduce the tinkering with recommendation algorithms and also to reduce the bot army.

Why are they defending an app/website that has essentially become a knockoff of Stormfront?

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 5 points 14 hours ago

It is not censorship. This is not a government telling you what to publish or not. This is just finding out how a company is abusing its product to influence politics.

US condemns....

Good. That means you're doing the right thing. Keep doing it.

Them: Democratic governments should allow all voices to be heard

Us: Free Palestine

Them: Terrorist!

Twitter only allows nazi speech now.

By condemning this, the "US" is shooting itself in the foot.

Ever since Twitter owner used Twitter to say Canada "wasn't a real country", no Canadian should be using Twitter. That wasn't just bias, it was an "in your face and screw you" kind of bias.

Of course the US will fight tooth and nail to keep its propaganda machines at work all around the globe.

The US Administration, more importantly a branch of the department of state, condemns French inquiry.

A lot of the USA are cheering the French on.

Martin: Organized crime?
Cosmo: Hah. Don't kid yourself. It's not that organized.

– Sneakers (1992)

Twitter is absolutely going to say "well, we're definitely not an organised hate group. Sometimes people just hate stuff. We're just a social media platform, helping people organise. Oh shit"

offtopic: I love that movie. It shows everything right despite everything being not serious.

[–] gandalf_der_12te@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

so ... it's not an "organized hate group" but an "organizing hate" group?

Ask Stephen Colbert about the US' vaunted "free speech".

EU just rolled over on trade with US. If anyone hopes for some actual fight against US and US corporations coming for Europe they will be disappointment.
