I saw the video in my feed this morning, and then found several instances later when searching. While I don't doubt the bans happened, I suspect Elon would simply reduce the "reach" of those posts instead which would allow him to deny employing censorship.
- d23 4y ago> I suspect Elon would simply reduce the "reach" of those posts instead which would allow him to deny employing censorship I agree we need evidence, since this could just be copyright takedown, but I've also seen no evidence he cares about his own consistency, nor do his fans expect it from him.
- vintermann 4y agoYou aren't generally allowed to film stand-up shows, are you? Seems like it would be easy to use the copyright excuse to take down an embarrassing video.
- nomel 4y agoThe video of the booing could have a copyright claim, by the one who filmed it.
- d23 4y agoOf course. I also assume it doesn’t make Chapelle look very good, so his team probably has an equal incentive to have it removed. Edit: ah yes, downvoted. I guess it's controversial now as to whether people booing at someone's show would be something they wouldn't like.

- blooalien 4y agoEven if he wanted to reduce the "reach" of said video, now that "the algorithm" has ahold of it ("trending"), good luck doin' anything "shady" about it now (without it gettin' noticed and ridiculed to high heaven). Totally too late. Elon's just gonna have to cope… ;)
