Re: X users are unable to post “Signal.me” links
#32Remember the Arab Spring and how Twitter was hailed as a tool for the masses to fight against their oppressors? And remember how Elon bought Twitter, loudly proclaiming he was doing so to defend free speech? I'm mildly curious to see how X tries to justify this, but I suspect they've reached the stage where they don't even need to pretend to pay lip service to their notional values.
If you capture a high enough proportion of the attention bandwidth, you cease having to answer questions or be accountable. It's quite scary how powerful this is.

If you were using a VPN, this might have been why.

#36Earlier quoted context omitted.
There never was any demand for free speech from him. He just wanted to advance his fascist agenda and used whatever means he had at his disposal.
While you’re correct as to his intentions, it’s still important to point out his hypocrisy as he called himself “a free speech absolutist,” and claimed to want Twitter to be part of that vision. He explicitly called left wing and right wing views as things he wants. Yes, we know it was all lies but not putting out the evidence allows people like Musk and his acolytes to make it the new truth without a fight.
We really are living in a world where we were always at war with Eurasia. Musk shouted loudly to his followers his views on free speech and why he wanted to buy Twitter. And now, it’s like it never happened. This isn’t like a bias news outlet leaving out certain facts, this is Musk himself saying these things and people going along with it.
It’s bonkers to me.

#37Somehow I don’t believe this, it is too much out of character, even if it fits so nicely with how we want to see Elon. Did anyone here actually confirm this? I never used Twitter nor X or id check myself.

#38So much for Elons "Free Speech"! This may come as a shock to him: Free Speech means to allow people to say something that he disagree with. Something that may hurt his interests or even his ego. Free speech is not to allow people to say things he agree with or don't care about.
He belongs to these people that misunderstood freedom of opinion to mean that nobody gets to criticize their opinion.
No, he did not misunderstand. This is 100% malice.

Except that Musk claims to be a "free speech absolutist", and part of the noise he made around buying Twitter was to stop censorship.
Not that it's news that he's a hypocrite.
