Well I think that the far right giving lists of leftists and anti-fascists to Elon Musk to ban is a beta move, I think it’s more telling that they wanna ban accounts like wholesome memes and weratedogs. It tells me that these individuals are very mentally ill and want to force their sociopathic and psychopath at humor on the rest of us. It’s “fuck normies” sentiment taken to the extreme

Is Elon even aware about the list? He didn't know much about the Assange situation.

Also I think they want to ban those accounts because as far as I'm aware, those accounts are in favor of Trans Rights. Not because it's the wrong kind of humor.

What Assange situation?

Also, since he's on friendly terms with several people distributing the list, I expect that he is accutely aware of it. It might even be because he is aware of it that accounts such as @FBI hasn't gone down due to organised mass reporting.

I'm pretty sure he doesn't, but still, it just shows how arbitrarily Musk is enforcing the rules of his website. Which, by all means, he's allowed to; it's his site. But it does belie his "Free speech absolutist" persona.

As in, why Assange got deported.

Also, who are the people who are spreading the list and are on good terms with him? I don't go to Twitter except to look for Pokémon art nowadays.

Because even Musk is smart enough to know that Hitler and the Nazis are bad for business. I mean, fuck, Alex Jones knew that. It's just so universal that at this point only a genuine imbecile couldn't figure that out.

Well, Musk did recently get taken on a little tour of the Apple campus by Tim Cook, who probably reminded him in no uncertain terms who has the power between the the two of them and who would be most hurt by continuing to not moderate the site

What are you talking about? Assange hasn't been deported.

Are you referring to the extradition from the UK the US is currently seeking?

Apple does not need Twitter but Twitter needs Apple. And we have fuckwads like Jim ”pederast pimp” Jordan saying that Congress needs to investigate Apple because they won’t give Twitter ad money. I swear, I fucking hate right wing populists. Why not? At least half of them want me dead anyway.

I have not even heard of Raelism. And I can't see why one would be banned for promoting a UFO religion so I suspect there must be multiple raelisms.

Did Hunter Biden sexually harass someone? Did he rape someone? Because from what I've read he's had his privacy violated and is therefor the victim here. Unless you have evidence to the contrary?

He was taking cash from the Ukrainians for access to his dad. Whether his dad knew, I dont belive was in the emails.

Fact is Twitter suppressed information that could have effected the election.

If that was the case and laws were broken, why aren’t they going after his current equipment? Why haven’t they presented what they have?

The stories were suppressed

Whether it rises to criminality is for the courts to decide. For Twitter to suppressed the information is attempting to influence the election.
