Leaked internal message appears to show Daddy Musk ordered suspension of left-wing activist's account
bye felicia
I know what you're thinking: "This is looking a lot like Musk maybe isn't a centrist." But quash that thought, mi amigo. Musk described himself politically as "somewhere in the middle." And no amount of deplatforming lefties can negate that.

In coordination with India government, Papa Musk removes from Twitter a BBC documentary critical of Indian PM Narendra Modi
PM me
When India's Ministry of Information and Broadcasting says a BBC documentary about Modi's role in a genocidal 2002 massacre is "hostile propaganda and anti-India garbage," Papa Musk doesn't ask questions. He dunks that journalistic garbage right into the trash bin.

Musk Daddy fires Twitter staff policing hate speech and misinformation
lit
You know how a healthy forest requires routine controlled burns? That's what this is. It's a controlled burn of Twitter's global content moderation team, leaving behind a scorched earth from which free speech will blossom.

Moderate Musk fired Brazil Twitter's election misinfo moderation team
discurso
Yes, a Brazilian Supreme Court Judge in 2020 compelled Brazil Twitter to block 16 accounts accused of disseminating false information. And yes, in Nov. 2022, Musk fired the entire Brazil Twitter staff, including those moderating content for incitement of violence and misinformation. But it's not like thousands will storm Brazil's Congress over false claims of a stolen election, right?

Twitter suspends Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's account, just months after her access was restored

Freedom of speech is one thing, but copyright law is another. And Rep. Green just had a crash course on what it means to commit a copyright violation, by tweeting a video of herself walking the halls of Congress to the beat of "Still D.R.E."

Germany warns Musk Daddy of breaking EU misinformation laws on Twitter

Yes, maybe Germany and other EU members have quote-unquote "clear rules" against illegal content and misinformation. But listen: you can't spell misinformation without information, okay?

Twitter Blue not actually verifying IDs, despite Papa Musk claiming otherwise
journalussy
It's like journalists love to ruin things on purpose by pointing out what's broken. Like, get a life -- and stop seeing every Musk-related problem through the myopic lens of your own self-worth. If someone wants to impersonate a US senator, who gives a shit? Free speech, baby!
