There are 4 types of 'pressures' a social media platform execs are facing

a) economic b) legal c) selective-outrage judicial/law enforcement d) personal bias (of the execs)

In US, before Musk -- Twitter was succumbing to (c) and (d) During Musk era, in US -- Twitter is facing (a) (c) (d) . Although it seems that (a) is not that strong/relevant.

In Turkey, today, Twitter is facing ( b ) and ( c ).

As users and observers we have to realize these pairs (Country + Pressure type union) and make relevant conclusions about the Country and about Twitter execs.

We cannot just remove the 'type' system out of these, and make conclusions.
