So 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.

No see all speech is free but some speech is more free than others.

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.

X is blocking private messages on the basis of their content. Every competitor with E2E as even an option clears this bar handily.

Somehow 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.

But it's not the first time they banned links to other social media?

People have only that much power we give to them. If everyone stops using Twitter/X, it is nothing. Nobody buys Teslas - it is nothing. The list goes on since his # in wealthy ranks defines his position. Just make it drop.

> Nobody buys Teslas - it is nothing The pussyfooting around this from some countries is genuinely surprising. Like, how are the Germans of all people confused about whether the oligarch courting their neo Nazis is a threat to their national security?

Xitter is the least of the issues considering his tie to China and Russia and the all-you-can-eat buffet happening right now in the US government.

All the ties and US government position is based on his money and influence in platforms.

It is perfectly in character. It’s not the first time he blocked people or services he personally doesn’t like.

On the assumption you are acting in good faith, that is a very poor analogy.

I think a more apt one would be: Imagine asking for a shit-free meal, and you're served a meal with just a little bit of shit in it.

Other parties in many countries don’t seem to understand that if they try to solve the immigration issues more seriously - many right-wing parties would disappear as they have nothing else.
