B-Man Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 (edited) Why they hate him. The left wants feudalism, and Elon’s giving them capitalism. Which is their worst nightmare because under capitalism, it is necessary to produce something of value. .

Your 1st amendment rights are not violated if Twitter censors or bans you. It's also not free speech and it absolutely is silencing They have been and are now currently free to ban, "fact check" and censor any speech they wish. Just own it and don't call yourself a free speech platform when you do. Censoring the Hunter Biden laptop story that was always real went beyond individual free speech into violating freedom of the press and election interference. I'll also add that they do get into violating the first amendment when they coordinate with the government to fact check and censor speech.

We are in a brave new world with social media and constant information at our fingertips. People will ultimately believe what they want, but it's important to have a level playing field, free from algorithmic throttling, promoting or outright censoring coverage. A level playing field that lets the marketplace of ideas and biased coverage from both sides inform, thereby allowing people to come to believe whatever they want to believe in a fair access landscape populated by media charlatans on both sides.

The NY Post broke a story that raised serious questions about a Presidential candidate and his potential financial entanglements with foreign governments through his son. In October 2020. The story, AT THE TIME, was verified. The emails reported from the story were verified. They were real. It was true. Immediately two things happened: 1. The NY Post's story was banned and sharing was banned on Facebook and Twitter. The NY Posts Twitter account was suspended. 2. 50 former IC officials signed a letter in which they acknowledge that they have no actual proof that the story is Russian disinformation, just that their experience tells them that it could be. Right. So nobody could see or share the NY Post confirmed true reporting, and now legacy media outlets began running with the story based on a letter, that explicitly stated there was no proof for, that the laptop story was Russian disinformation. So everyone got the fake story 24/7. Censoring and lying is a fantastic propaganda 1-2 punch, ain't it?
