When Musk says X is all about freedom of speech, remind him that one of its biggest owners is intimately tied to a government that executes people for mild criticism.
X is a megaphone for Musk and a tool to get political favours. X was already used to silence the opposition in Turkey and India during elections. A Saudi prince having a minority stake is a drop in a bucket of free speech violations.
Unfortunately for Musk the US Constitution doesn't apply everywhere.
Lately I've been thinking that the Chinese had a good point with their great firewall. The EU is already banning Russian media perhaps we should ad Americans to the list.
Agreed, and btw I'm suspecting GFW could be a funny one: have you seen a Chinese neckbeard on the Internet? I mean, don't you find suspiciously large fractions of them PLL locked solid on Western values above everything?
If one owner bans speech he doesn't like (@Elonjet), other owners will ask to do the same. Having control of speech on Twitter was likely a factor in the "investment".
