Musk does not understand that advertisers leaving twitter is part of free speech....it goes both ways.... also Musk is a multi billionaire who overpaid for twitter. If he cared about free speech he would make it free and not care if it lost money .
Lmao at “the communications team, which was almost entirely laid off, did not respond to a request for comment.” Funny shit Musk is struggling so hard right now. The Saudis are going to own Tesla by the new year.
Anecdotally, I can say that various right wing people like Don Jr and organizations like Townhall have now been showing up on my main Twitter feed. These are not interests of mine. And I think this is what Musk and all the rank and file right wingers talking about “free speech” never understood about Twitter - it’s an interest based social media platform. It took me a long time to get my twitter feed the way I wanted it - lots of economics, lots of politics and international news from reputable sources. It was consistent and the way I wanted it. And this continues and they don’t restore the algorithm Twitter is definitely going to fail. I don’t want to see nonsense about Paul Pelosi being gay and 3 year olds getting gender assignment therapy. Twitter is all fucked up right now.
No doubt that in the new system you will have greater control if you have a paid subscription account.
what company wants their brand posted next to a neo-nazi’s post? racist content on Twitter is already up like 1800percent. no free speech absolutist site has succeeded. They all crumble because the netizens who want the free speech shit everywhere and all the decent people leave.
