Good to see I'm vindicated in the prediction that Musk has zero interest in free speech, he only has interest in his narrative being dominant on Twitter.

Is doxing free speech though? Do you think so?

This is more like paparazzi following famous people around. Doxing some random person is different matter than posting the travel patterns of a Russian oligarch or an American oligarch like Elon.

Unfortunately, "most people's definition" does not factor in at all when Elon is claiming to only be upholding the law. It is my understanding that "doxxing" is not only largely legal in the U.S., it is in fact common practice for various administrative databases to be published unredacted by default. Whether the law adequately protects people's privacy is a different conversation (worth having in my opinion!), and s…

Has Musk ever said that he supports doxxing individuals? Court cases or unredacted mass data dumps are far different than data dumps targeting very specific individuals -- usually with the intent of enabling direct harm.

Even more hypocritically than that, he said he supported the ElonJet account remaining online.

When you are using the public airspace, airwaves, or waterways there is an obligation to identify yourself to others.

When you use public roads, why shouldn't I be able to track everywhere you go and tell the world exactly where you are?

You can... who's stopping you?

So we have a company headquartered in SF, and I think something like 98% of twitter's political donations went to democrats, and the employees acted as constant activists whenever the executives didn't take action against high level conservatives (I'll leave aside whether that action was justified or not). Also, if you read the twitter files, the enforcement was fairly lopsided. Look what happened to @libsoftiktok --…

It wasn't fairly lopsided, it was extremely lopsided. Glenn Greenwald: "This thread proves 3 things: 1) Twitter execs were regularly meeting with FBI over what to censor. 2) Twitter's censorship was almost 100% aligned with the Dem Party. 3) Twitter's chief censors were deranged ideologues abusing their power over our discourse to silence dissent." https://twitter.com/ggreenwald/status/1601591994165256192 If Greenwal…

Every time I read one of these threads I wonder if I'm somehow seeing different screenshots that what the author is talking about, because they're always full of some of the most uncharitable interpretations possible. The tweet linked reads like a biased summary of a biased summary.

I don't know people expect moderation to work, but it's inherently messy and imperfect because humans are messy and imperfect, and past a certain point you always end up having to trust the instincts and judgement of moderators.

As someone who has moderated large group before, my main reaction is "this stuff is surprising to people?"

Or maybe he just thinks you can use your block button instead of censoring someone other people like.

Did that thinking not apply to ElonJet's case, or was there something about that case that made it special?

Your logic is astoundingly poor. Have another think about that.

Why didn’t he use his block button on the Jet account then?

Like Musk has done with previous Twitter employees? There was reports Roth was threatened at had lot leave his house for safety reasons.

She just got the role, why would she no longer work there? Presumably she was put there to enable this , after Yoel Roth abruptly left (and was subsequently defamed as a pedo by Elon, what's with the guy and pedophiles).
