Big Tech/Social Media Censorship. Musk/X Files Lawsuit Against Censorship Syndicate GARM


Recommended Posts

Twitter bans ads that contradict science on climate change.

 

Twitter says it will no longer allow advertisers on its site who deny the scientific consensus on climate change, echoing a policy already in place at Google.

 

“Ads shouldn’t detract from important conversations about the climate crisis,” the company said in a statement outlining its new policy Friday.

 

There was no indication that the change would affect what users post on the social media site, which along with Facebook has been targeted by groups seeking to promote misleading claims about climate change.

 

The announcement coinciding with Earth Day came hours before the European Union agreed upon a deal requiring big tech companies to vet their sites more closely for hate speech, disinformation and other harmful content.

 

Twitter said it would provide more information in the coming months on how it plans to provide “reliable, authoritative context to the climate conversations” its users engage in, including from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The U.N.-backed science panel’s reports on the causes and effects of climate change provide the basis for international negotiations to curb climate change.

 

The company already has a dedicated climate topic on its site and offered what it described as “pre-bunks” during last year’s U.N. climate conference to counter misinformation surrounding climate change.

EXCLUSIVE Twitter set to accept Musk’s ‘best and final’ offer-sources

 

 

Twitter Inc (TWTR.N) is nearing a deal to sell itself to Elon Musk for $54.20 per share in cash, the price that he originally offered to the social media company and called his 'best and final', people familiar with the matter said.

 

Twitter may announce the $43 billion deal later on Monday once its board has met to recommend the transaction to Twitter shareholders, the sources said. It is always possible that the deal collapses at the last minute, the sources added.

Stating the obvious, its okay for the "correct" type of billionaires that will impose censorship to protect official narratives and block challenges and contradicting facts and opinions to the left's sacred beliefs and all sorts of woke myths to own and control media.  To the left Musk is just the "wrong" billionaire as he doesn't appear to share their ideology or belief system.

For the left, the possibility that Musk is  committed to imposing what is viewed as traditional free speech protections aligned with some definition held by libertarians is a danger.   They can rationalize and generate all kinds of excuses but that's it.  Fear of losing control.

Yup.  That's what it's always been about.  Controlling media with a certain type of billionaire owner and staff.
