Elon Musk Just Exposed Twitter’s Censorship Problem in One Simple Tweet​

Of course, there are plenty of other examples of the activist media pushing deceptive reports on Twitter’s platform. Every hoax, fake narrative, and lie they have told has been disseminated on the bird app. Indeed, it has been one of their primary propaganda tools over the past decade.

Under the old management, these falsehoods were never punished. Members of the activist media knew they could exploit the platform to peddle their narratives without worrying about the consequences.

On the other hand, the social media company’s censorship brigade routinely took action against conservative influencers if they expressed viewpoints the left deemed to be “misinformation.” This was especially true during the COVID-19 pandemic when they suppressed opinions that went against the Democrat-approved narrative on the virus and vaccines. The company went so far as to ban the New York Post story about Hunter Biden’s laptop in 2019 to help Joe Biden win the presidency.

This isn’t to say that absolutely no left-wing accounts have been banned. But the high-profile influencers and activist media outlets received no such treatment, according to Musk.

If owning the libs was a sport, Elon Musk would be competing for a national championship. The billionaire, who had never even voted for a Republican until recently, has been forced into an adversarial relationship with the left simply for supporting the basic principle of free speech.

Yet, despite their vitriol, Musk did attempt to offer them an olive branch shortly after completing his deal to buy Twitter. Early on, much to the chagrin of conservatives, he set up a “content moderation council” that was supposed to meet and decide just how free the speech on the social media site would be. Those present on the council included the ADL and the NAACP.

Just weeks later, Musk dissolved the council, though. He then held a public poll which eventually led to Donald Trump’s account being reinstated. That sent Jonathan Greenblatt, the leftwing hack who heads the ADL, on a Twitter rampage.








The arrogance of Greenblatt asking “is it time for Twitter to go,” as if he has any say whatsoever in the matter, is just incredible. What’s more incredible is that these clownish activist groups truly believe they are immune from the consequences of their actions because, on Tuesday, Musk revealed why he booted the ADL and others to the curb.

There was probably some poor Samoan kid regretting there was ever such a thing as Pineapple Pizza.

What about Peetzagate? I think Wiki was working in cahoots with Twitter when they canceled Peetza.

Elon Musk Might Be Gearing up to Make Leftists’ Heads Explode – Again​

Prominent leftist influencers insist that Musk’s focus on free speech will only lead to more misinformation and bigotry being promulgated on the site. But in reality, they seem to be more frightened by the prospect of people who espouse views different from theirs might just have a level playing field when it comes to expressing ideas.

But one of the rallying cries from the movement, “hands up don’t shoot,” was picked apart incessantly by right-wing pundits who sought to exonerate the police officer, much like Musk is still doing today. Witnesses to the shooting claimed Brown had his hands up, though the U.S. Department of Justice investigators didn’t find this credible. Wilson, who shot Brown at least six times, claimed that Brown had charged at him and the shooting was in self-defense.
Gizmodo isn’t going to relitigate what happened in 2014. But we do find it notable that Musk wants to reopen the wounds of that summer, either to stoke more controversy on his social media platform with the hopes that it generates attention for a site that’s hemorrhaging advertisers, or simply because Musk wants to signal to his right-wing fans that he’s well and truly one of them. Whatever his goal, Musk succeeded at proving he desperately wants approval from the absolute worst people on the planet.

How dare Musk post the truth! That fiend! The cop didn’t just claim it was in self-defense, the evidence and the investigations supported that it was. Gizmodo knows that, but they still want to pump the anger, rather than the truth.

But liberals don’t want the truth and that’s what Musk has truly been showing with his takeover of Twitter.

Musk made another comment about how much the world’s conversation had been distorted by Twitter which shows he truly gets it. This is why the left is so mad, that they could spread all the radical narrative across the world when they had control but now they can’t. And Elon vowed he’s going to stop that “thumb on the scale.”

Saw a thing about the supposed hate speech that spiked 500% after Musk took over. Seems its now dropped lower than it was before he took over. He said the solution was to drop accounts with a faster typing speed than a meth addict on amphetamines.

"Any unmoderated forum will inevitably become right wing"

This makes sense - I think we can see it right here on these forums. Thx vrai for being light on the moderation and letting all views heard.

From what I have read, trolls [ probably progressives ] have been dropping the N-Word left, right and center .... with no context other than to say N-Word, in a vain attempt to high light how twitter has ' FALLEN ' with no moderation .... since Musk took over - therefore Musk is racist / racist adjacent

' see Twitter is over run with all these racists '

Not white supremists being racist, but progressives trying to drive a fake narrative

leftist ideas cannot stand to scrutiny .... they do not run on FACTS, but reactions based on emotionms...... FACTS not emotions win at the end of the day

otherwise moderated forums turn leftist as counter viewpoints are banned

look at Reddit ... most every sub is over run with progressive group think - ANY topic where politics comes up anyone not supporting the progressive narrative is banned .. even as mundane a knitting ] .... they banned the Trump sub as hate speech, when the simple fact is, progressives could not handle the FACTS opposing the progressive narrative

So it's actually a bit more insidious than that. What musks post tells us is not that a billion liberal monkeys typing on a billion liberal typewriters produce the n-word a lot. But rather than a far smaller number, set up bot accounts to flood the system with the n-word. Hence the reference to typing speed of a meth head.

Elon Musk Makes an Interesting Announcement About ‘Hate Speech’ on Twitter​

Remember when leftists were melting down after Elon Musk took over Twitter? Democrats and media activists were stunned and irate, insisting this would lead to rampant white supremacy on the platform.

After there was a notable uptick in the use of the n-word on the site, they cited this as proof that Musk’s focus on free speech was only going to embolden the racist dregs of society. All this despite the fact that this was occurring before the new CEO even made any changes to the algorithms or content moderation policy.

But when it became clear that the increase was due to a few hundred accounts – most of them bots – the narrative began to fall apart, as is the case with most left-wing hoaxes.

Now, it appears the platform has gotten this non-issue under control. On Wednesday, Musk posted a tweet with a chart showing how the reach of tweets engaging in “hate speech” has declined lower than it was even before Musk took over the company. “Hate speech impressions down by 1/3 from pre-spike levels. Congrats to Twitter team!” he tweeted.

Musk says suspended Twitter accounts will be granted amnesty ‘next week’​

“Should Twitter offer a general amnesty to suspended accounts, provided that they have not broken the law or engaged in egregious spam?” Musk asked in the poll.

As of Thursday afternoon, a little more than 3 million users had participated in the poll, and just under three-quarters had voted in favor of the amnesty.

“The people have spoken. Amnesty begins next week. Vox Populi, Vox Dei,” Musk said, using the Latin phrase meaning “the voice of the people is the voice of God.”
