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.

Yes. A lot has changed at Twitter. "Shouting to the void", welcome to Twitter. Welcome to having to market yourself to obtain followers.
Expecting more than what has already happened -- which is a fuckton -- is blatant retardism, and Torba doesn't always seem to be on the up and up.
Further to the point, Parler was already under scrutiny beforehand anyway. People were already uneasy. This was a prediction slanted towards his favor.
Re: hate speech, rules are rules. The problem isn't having rules on a site, the problem is enforcing them differently from person to person. We have similar rules here, and on Patriots.
A "deboosted" tweet is still there to be found, to be linked to, to be retweeted unlike the previous standard of being deleted outright.
