When you ban anyone who speaks against you, you don't even need moderation! Problem solved.
But of course he can turn it off. He owns the entire platform and algorithms on it.
- zahlman 2y agoMusk can't ban people from HN. If there existed evidence of him removing CNs from his own Twitter posts, it could trivially be posted here.
- daveguy 2y agoHow exactly would there be evidence if he can have every CN screened?
- zahlman 2y agoIf something is "removed", that logically implies that it was there at some point in the past. Technology exists which can archive the state of webpages at the current point in time. If someone is believed to do something habitually, and others wish to gather evidence of that conduct, they might prepare in advance. I assume I don't need to connect the dots here.
- daveguy 2y agoIf something is "never added" it serves the same purpose as removal. Even more so -- there is no evidence and none was ever available. I assume I don't need to connect the dots here. If you do not think Elon could be controlling the moderation of his own account then you are either hopelessly naive or responding in bad faith. Either way, I will not be responding again.
