DUI_Offender Posted September 5 Report Share Posted September 5 Spoiled rich boy from Apartheid South Africa. Uses Canada as a stepping stone to obtain US citizenship. Professional grifter, that has been granted over a billion dollars for the Government. Spreads misinformation about COVID, vaccines, election fraud, and gender idealogy. Now agrees that Winston Churchill was the "real enemy" in WW2 that provoked comparatively "innocent" people like Adolf Hitler to srart war. Is it time we banned twitter just like Brazil. Its lost neatly half its daily audience since 2022, but it is still a effective propaganda platform for his far right agenda. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my understanding, Reagan deregulated the industry in the mid 80s. Its not a coincidence that Rupert Murdock launched FOX TV around the same time 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

User Posted September 16 Report Share Posted September 16 Ah yes... here we find the self-proclaimed "conservative" Michael favoring and advocating for more government regulations to shut down a free speech platform.

The only big difference is a couple of things: 1. A bunch of cry baby liberals left in protest because Musk no longer censors all the big bad meanies on the right they don't like 2. Musk actually promotes and advocates for free speech principles and no longer censors all the big bad meanies on the right liberals don't like 1 Quote LOL, when people have to tell you they are ignoring you...

Quite the contrast from the claims of Elon "Free Speech" Musk, who spent 18 months telling anyone who would listen, that Twitter usage had increased.

I guess "free speech" does not apply to Elons friends. Lets not forget Elons critics, who found their accounts suspended for speaking out against Musk, only to be reinstated after a public outcry.

So, which is it? You complain there is not enough censorship and then claim there is censorship... Also, he was not "asked" to do anything, he was legally compelled to. Elon has lots of critics, a handful of accounts get suspended and unsuspended... this crap happens all the time, no big conspiracy going on.

If the Turkish or Indian incumbant asks Musk to block all dissenting accounts, of their respective regeime, Elon could have told them to go to hell, and been true to his "free speech abolitionist" claims, but just likr Trump, Musk is a professional grifter, who games the system.

If he really was a free speech "abolitionist," he would have told Turkey and India to f**k themselves. It's too bad you believe everything a entitled billionaire tells you. If Elon Musk asked you to rim his arse, would you? Answer me this: why did Musk only do this for one political party? If Trudeau asked Musk to censor everything the Conservative Party of Canada, and their supporters tweeted, would you be OK with that too?

Yet again, this is not something Musk said... these are documented acts of the Government of Turkey. They forced twitter to censor through the law, it was not a request. You have to be one of the most obtuse posters on here for having no care at all about facts or honest discussion. 32 minutes ago, DUI_Offender said: If he really was a free speech "abolitionist," he would have told Turkey and India to f**k themselves.
