I was correct about Parler and their use of AI to censor, I was correct about Rumble and their “hate speech” terms of service, and I was correct about Gettr using AI to censor as well. All of them claim to support free speech and all of them bent the knee to the Regime powers and censor “hate speech.” Twitter under Elon Musk is no different and my analysis about this situation will be right as well. Believe me now or thank me later. Take it or leave it. ….
Nothing has changed at Twitter and based on Elon Musk’s tweets over the past month nothing will be changing anytime soon. People who have been banned in the past have been given amnesty only to return to shout into the void. Folks like Alex Jones aren’t welcome back at all not because of specific policy violations, but rather because of Elon’s emotional reaction to him on a whim. The Twitter rules have not changed. The shadowbanning has not ended—in fact Musk is openly tweeting that “negative” and “hateful” content will be “deboosted” and celebrating that “hate speech” is being removed from view in record numbers. These are the facts.

Someday I would enjoy an intelligent debate about censorship. From what I read, and hear discussed, it seems there are lots of people who want the 1st Amendment, but also want to censor whoever is the opposite of their own ideology. I know no one here wants their children exposed to trash , and I agree. There is nowhere on the internet that can prevent children from reading certain things, seeing certain things, etc. There also seems no way to completely prevent minors from accessing stuff without an unthinkable invasion of privacy. Pornographers have often used the 1st Amendment to defend their right to display "art", and now a days, I could take a picture of goat turds in the snow and call it art. Political thought and speech should not be censored, but so called "sex education" should be. I personally do not want to read vulgarities spouted by someone with a Junior High School mentality, so, I do not. There are things that I have read on line that I wish I did not know, and it has nothing to do with shadow governments or hidden money and power and evil doers, but I do not need a detailed description of every perversion in history, nuance can suffice, not only that, freaks get off on it. Is a monitor on a website or chat or board censoring, or are they editing?
