Instead of being a bastion of free speech it really seems like what goes at Twitter is all up to what is most pleasing to Elon at any given moment, hypocrisy at its finest. The implication of decisions like this could be lives lost and oppressive regimes defacto boosted.

- monkeynotes 4y ago> Free speech for my folks and downranking for the wokes. Twitter files show it was simply the reverse before Elon. If you think that a private company like Twitter is going to be unbiased you have more faith in humanity than I do. Whatever the CEO they are going to have opinions about who to promote and who to bury.

- monkeynotes 4y agoFree speech doesn't mean equity in voice amplitude. Saying that modulating the amount of Ukraine chatter could lead to lives lost, oppressive regimes is hyperbole at best, and plain reactionary. Ukraine tweets are negative about Ukraine as much as they are positive, and I for one am tired of seeing the absolute clusterfuck that is armchair war mongers going at it 24/7.
- klyrs 4y ago> Free speech doesn't mean equity in voice amplitude. While I agree with that completely, the "free speech absolutist" narrative that was pushed in support of Musk is that far-right talking points were getting downranked, that platforms should be neutral to "political opinions." In Texas, this notion has been enshrined into law.
