Crossposting here as I consider X a threat to both privacy and freedom
I rather mean “political discourse”
There was Twitter. Apart from advertising, the very good thing it brought was free access to information. But not only getting it, also sharing. So we knew about for example Arab Spring or Umbrella protests and more or less what is going on, before news decided to tell us and how to tell us
Then came Musk, all in white, saying that moderation on Twitter is biased and he’s going to bring it more freedom of speech
Some time passes and let’s say that now EU does ban X. What’s the next logical thing he’ll say?
I think it might be something like “see? EU banned X because they didn’t like the truth. For the truth, come to me”. I’m afraid that banning would rather give him power and echo chamber, rather than fixing what is going on
