I suspect people are upset a because transparent government agencies, which included contact information for their employees, are being harassed, blocked, and shutdown by a dubious body which itself lacks transparency, despite claims otherwise. In short, it's hipocrisy.

- janderson215 2y agoThen the consequence of having an X account blocked is not even worth a mention even in passing. From the perspective of the DOGE detractors, how is this any different than complaining about a serial killer who doesn’t flush the toilet when they’re done?
- jxjnskkzxxhx 2y agoPresumably complaining about a serial killers toilet doesn't achieve anything. What am I missing?
- janderson215 2y agoExactly. Why is it a story that a private company banned an account for posting content that violates it’s ToS AS WELL AS targets a group of people special to the primary owner of said company? This story is absolutely nothing other than adding synthetic fuel to the fire that already hates Elon.
- jxjnskkzxxhx 2y agoBecause that story has some reach. Lots of journalists are still on twitter for example.
