Tell me again how musk-ovi isn’t a putin stooge
He doesn't want Xitter to get banned in Russia and there are no consequences for arbitrarily banning people. Pretty obviously just business.
Wish people would stop using that site.
Or someone would nationalize it.
Honestly nationalizing it would be a bad idea. Once it's government owned, then the 1st amendment would actually apply and banning people, including the more openly Nazi accounts than you can imagine, would probably be illegal. It would be overrun with even more heinous filth than it houses now.
It really is best for everyone that Twitter dies, and good news! Under Musk's incredible zero-win leadership, it looks pretty inevitable!
Openly Nazi accounts already avoid getting banned so that doesn't really change anything.
Though you're right, we need to pack the Court first and undo right-wing jurisprudence.
