There has been a real censorship problem. The late Dr Jackie Stone speaks. <<"The day was started prescribing Ivermectin, that was the day people stopped dying" >> Please watch this final interview of @DrJackieStone. It’s only 5 minutes but it captures much of what those who challenged the official covid narrative were up against. https://t.co/KNOeTulM14 — Prof Norman Fenton (@profnfenton) October 5, 2024

TenQ is lost. The whole intent of free speech is allowing criticism against the govt. Allowing the govt to censor is ridiculous.

Your post is naive. X is very much a filter, an algorithmically controlled filter. And this filter is something that Musk is known to shape to force his own opinions on others. Even to promote other government's views - he actually re-posts a lot of material generated by Russian influence operations on a regular basis, for example. He forces the developers to weight his posts more heavily. True, one can themselves override the built in Musk worshiping machine controls and influence peddling (like by blocking Musk) and shape the filter to match one's own proclivities and interests, for example through following users and liking posts. And Twitter got it's popularity, and X remains popular in this space because this ability to shape the filter and get the very latest news developments is quite good. But it is no less susceptible to US government control than corporate control and foreign influence. Government very much has an important role in preventing crime, abuse and foreign influence. Do you think you have some basic right to post the blueprints for a nuclear weapon? To publish US national security secrets? To post pornography and pedophilia? Who regulates this? Your argument is tragically flawed, simplistic and naive.

Inode, And it cannot be the role of government to decide who can protest and who can't. Or what is truth or lies, or what can and cannot be said by the population. And that is precisely what happened four years ago when Twitter was in control. You are such a hypocrite. You say you don't want government deciding who can protest and who can't, yet you want Trump to pardon all the January 6th insurrectionists and punish all of the BLM rioters. You say you don't want a government-sponsored Ministry of Tr00th, yet Trump is promising to prosecute Google for search results that he doesn't like: Trump says he will seek Google's prosecution if he wins election (Reuters) You say that the government made Twitter lean left, but I can assure you that no one at Twitter pre-Musk needed his or her arm twisted. And you claim that I don't understand the concept of free speech, but I just proved that YOU don't understand it at all. Here is the proof: *You pretend like you have to go out of your way to get your daily dose of right-wing news just because of Twitter.* Give me a break. You have no idea how good you have it here in America. Tenchusatsu
