Elon Musk being a huge hypocrite/ dangerous/etc doesn't have any bearing on whether governments should have the power to snoop on private conversations online and block out voices they disagree with on a case by case basis.
- philistine 2y agoWell, tell that to Elon Musk, who folded to the Turkish and Indian governments (both right-wing and aligned towards Musk I might add) and removed content worldwide on orders from the Indian government. Suddenly when Brazil wants censorship, who's not bending the knee to Musk, it's a whole problem for him? https://www.theverge.com/2024/9/4/24235213/x-brazil-suppression-speech-elon-musk-india-turkey https://www.theverge.com/2024/9/4/24235213/x-brazil-suppress...
- fooker 2y agoI'm not sure if you are getting the point. Your opinion about censorship should not depend on whether Elon Musk is a hypocrite. Maybe it'll help to think in terms of fictional characters to get over your Elon Musk obsession. If Voldemort suddenly started criticizing Umbridge, it doesn't automatically make Umbridge a great character, no matter how much you hate Voldemort.
