    You don’t use Twitter, but you’re absolutely convinced with religious convention that Twitter is a misinformation platform? I don’t know about you, but I quite like the first amendment right that guarantees safe spaces to speak our minds.

      I did use it a lot. Have you considered Twitter might be an information bubble? Musk says sensible stuff. But his actions are completely opposite. "Free speech is essential to democracy" OF COURSE No one is taking that away. They said the same thing before Biden won. It's just fear mongering and people eat it up. He talks free speech and then buys Twitter and removes community notes from his account just to push his agenda. It's free speech but it's all fabricated propaganda. Trump on jan 6th commanded his goons in the bubble to try to steal the election with the fake electoral plot. Look it up. No mention of that on free Twitter. They are literally trying to install Trump as dictator under your nose. While you fight here about free speech. It's ridiculous, and people eat it up.

        Musk gets community notes all the time if he lies, ever seen this happen on any other platforms?

There is no way "misinformation" caused 80 million people to vote as they did.

  Obviously not 80m of them lmao. But sure has an impact

  70% of Republicans think Trump was the real winner of the 2020 election and that's hardly the only misinformation they have. It's hard to imagine that that wasn't a huge factor in the election.

It's true for Twitter (I don't use TikTok so I'll take your word for it) but what about Reddit that was very anti-Trump?
