Musk Says Twitter Has "No Actual Choice" But Comply With Government Censorship Demands

In other words, Musk has no balls.
[–]bucetao6969 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun - 11 months ago (7 children)
But he has integrity. He won't censorship himself but has to comply with other countries. That's fine by me.

But he has integrity.
Nonsense. Musk is a limited hangout. Alex Jones broke no rules and is still banned.

He got banned pre-ellon also Ellon unbanned Trump so maybe it's just a matter of someone having enough interest to unban him. Your argument doesn't really work.

Your justification doesn't work.
Elon himself has said everyone should have freedom of speech BUT not freedom of reach - making up new bullshit limitations and rules as he goes.

Kind of makes sense: “old man yells obscenities at clouds”. Should the whole world hear it? Should it reach the sky?
[–]JasonCarswell 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun - 11 months ago (0 children)
That's not what it is.
They intentionally throttle content. That means that if it was going to organically reach many people, they would stop it.
A bunch of old men yelling at clouds will get boring and will not get popular unless there's something unique and/or authentic about it. Nothing can get popular unless it's allowed to. This is SOFT CENSORSHIP, no matter how you spin it.

BUT not freedom of reach
This does makes sense.

I briefly read the article and the Turkish government made demands of Mr musk but Mr musk could just say f*** off to the Turkish government and he could say if they don't like it block it.

So NOW "they're a private corporation, they can do what they want" doesn't apply anymore. Funny when that was the case when Facebook, Twitter, google and everybody else were censoring conservatives, but now... Neh.

The Twitter files showed the real subversion of democracy was done with the public-private partnership to hide the vast amount of election problems and Covid vaccine issues.

Almost the textbook definition of:
Just following orders.
Totalitarianism marches on.
The brief head-fake toward even pretending free speech is a core value of western civilization was a very small speed bump. Back to full speed ahead.

Was this before or after Musk visited China?

Fuck Turkey, let them ban twatter
Exactly. And anyone else.
Drive Twitter into the ground to drive the point home if needs be.
There IS a choice.

Twitter is still dogshit under Elon.
I'm still waiting for Truth Social to be on Android but Trump doesn't know what he's doing either.

Gov saved spacex and is currently funding it. Gov pays for starlink for ukraine. Gov okayed human trials in neurolink. Gov gives tax breaks for tesla cars. I just can't see how people think he's a gov shill.

Yes you do.
Say "no".

Hey, "Elon"; here's an 'actual choice': You can fucking say, "NO, Erdogan; if you don't like it, [try to] block me."

Censorship is such a horrific crime to humanity that causes such an apocalyptic death toll it can only be punished by death.

Well, technically he has to comply with US demands since they're based there. But the rest of the world? He can tell those people to go fuck themselves, but doesn't because he's a fucking closet authoritarian.

What are you stupid? Geopolitics is a bunch of female-overcompensating-uneducated-males that engage in tit-for-responses to every issue. Oh twitter wont follow our rules? We’ll do something to reciprocate in return - 20 years later - proxy escalation with multiple trade wars, civilian and hostage deaths, spies are killing each other and the doomsday clock is closer to midnight.
De-escalation is better.

Spoken like a true muskrat. Fucker is an idiot, deal with it. De-escalation doesn't work with religious nutjobs.
“De-escalation doesn’t work”
Thanks captain obvious

Wow, it's one thing to delete a response, but to be such a huge cuck for Musk that you delete your entire account? That's new.
