Hasn’t Elon been found multiple times suppressing people who say things he doesn’t like?

[–] Tiger666@lemmy.ca 5 points 47 minutes ago

But Twitter censors all kinds of posts? There is no free speech on Twitter. Just try posting the word cisgendered and see what happens.

Why are they defending an app/website that has essentially become a knockoff of Stormfront?

Censorship is when the French ask "what are you doing?"

Oh Rene...what are you doing with the painting of the fallen Madonna with the big boobies?

"activist" even trying to discredit foreign federal bureaus by framing them as politically motivated lmao what a bunch of fucking crooks in the US admin.

100% "X is an organized crime group". if you count brainwashing as a crime, which i do.

they're manipulating public opinion towards what the rich want to hear. it's all propaganda.

elon musk bought twitter to conduct "social engineering" after doing classical engineering before at tesla. it's all just a way to control what people think, and it's partially working. the people need to get off commercial social media and use something community-hosted, like the fediverse. to reduce the tinkering with recommendation algorithms and also to reduce the bot army.

It is not censorship. This is not a government telling you what to publish or not. This is just finding out how a company is abusing its product to influence politics.

US condemns....

Good. That means you're doing the right thing. Keep doing it.

[–] frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone 35 points 20 hours ago

Them: Democratic governments should allow all voices to be heard

Us: Free Palestine

Them: Terrorist!

Twitter only allows nazi speech now.

By condemning this, the "US" is shooting itself in the foot.

Ever since Twitter owner used Twitter to say Canada "wasn't a real country", no Canadian should be using Twitter. That wasn't just bias, it was an "in your face and screw you" kind of bias.

The US Administration, more importantly a branch of the department of state, condemns French inquiry.

A lot of the USA are cheering the French on.

[–] febra@lemmy.world 60 points 1 day ago (22 children)

Of course the US will fight tooth and nail to keep its propaganda machines at work all around the globe.

Martin: Organized crime?
Cosmo: Hah. Don't kid yourself. It's not that organized.

– Sneakers (1992)

Twitter is absolutely going to say "well, we're definitely not an organised hate group. Sometimes people just hate stuff. We're just a social media platform, helping people organise. Oh shit"

[–] gandalf_der_12te@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

so ... it's not an "organized hate group" but an "organizing hate" group?

[–] Bubbey@lemmy.world 5 points 20 hours ago (3 children)

A French Inquiry...

"Did you ehhhhhh.... do ze crime?"

"Non"

"Par Excellence! Time for some coffee and cigarettes!"

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 3 points 20 hours ago

I hear cigarettes have ironically fallen out of popularity in France, despite it being seen as culturally significant in the past.

EU just rolled over on trade with US. If anyone hopes for some actual fight against US and US corporations coming for Europe they will be disappointment.

Just block it in Europe already. Or give Musk daily-increasing fines so he has it turned off in the EU.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 6 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago)

Just block it in Europe already.

The Brazil Government did this for a week and immediately extracted big concessions from Elon. Really curious to see the EU so reluctant to employ a tried-and-true tactic... assuming you believe these governments are adversarial to American plutocrats.
