    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.

    Martin: Organized crime?
    Cosmo: Hah. Don’t kid yourself. It’s not that organized.

    – Sneakers (1992)

    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”

    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.

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

    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.

    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.
