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

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

"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.

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

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.

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

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.

Them: Democratic governments should allow all voices to be heard

Us: Free Palestine

Them: Terrorist!

US condemns....

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

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.

Twitter only allows nazi speech now.

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.

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"

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.

Democratic governments should allow all voices to be heard, not silence speech they dislike.

That's real fucking rich coming from the government that:

• Removed all references to "trans-" regardless of context.
• Retaliates against left-leaning press.
• Calls information they dislike "fake news".
• Sends immigrants to concentration camps.

Ask Stephen Colbert about the US' vaunted "free speech".

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.

Translation help from Fascist English to US English:

• "activist" = a non-politician whose free speech we don't like
• "allow all voices to be heard" / "free speech" = extremist/unconstitutional/propaganda speech which serves the interests of the current fascist regime must be allowed, while every other speech will be labelled as being activist/communist/un-American/...
• "defend [...] all Americans" = at least the part of Americans which we tolerate or haven't jailed yet (subject to change)
