Not long before Elon bought a 9% stake, one of the largest satire accounts on twitter was suspended for a joke. They are literally censoring humor and that may have been the final straw.
Also worth noting that he was one of the ACLU's biggest donors when they were still focused on protecting free speech and liberty.

- colordrops 5y agoMy account got banned for an obvious joke. I feel this personally.
- darkwater 5y agoMind to share the joke here?
- colordrops 5y agoWould prefer not to reveal my identity - it could be searched. I can paraphrase though. It was a thread a couple years ago on how nazis can be punched, but it was spreading to anyone who was perceived as right wing, such as Andy Ngo, with the excuse that they are all nazis. Being a pacifist, I replied with something sarcastic along the lines of "As long as we are punching nazis, why don't we also punch the taliban, ISIS, MS13, Zionists, north koreans, evangelicals, trump supporters, and puppies?" Obviously not serious, but I was banned for promoting violence. Ironic considering the thread I was replying to was all about unironic support of real world violence. My joke wasn't a good one, but it was a joke.
- zionic 5y agoI know someone who was banned for posting pitbull attack statistics. The pitmommy battalion mass-reported her account for "racism".
