Coincidentally right on time with Elon being exposed for censoring and suppressing tweets of other Turkish presidential candidates, at the request of Turkish government, well before and during the election. Despite proclaiming to bring platform for free speech, he didn’t even inform Turkish Twitter users or even anyone, until he got called out by a journalist. He said he was going to release the correspondence between them (Turkish government and Twitter), but he hasn’t posted anything about it yet
It's the same M.O. that has allowed politicians to trick people forever. Say you're going to do things the people want but then do the opposite. People will hold onto the words, not the actions
Update: looks like Musk and Twitter have fully disclosed their position with the Turkish govt. I haven't read up on it, but saw a comment in Musk's feed by someone who congratulated him for doing as much.
Thank you, I’ve briefly read through some - I see the government requested he ban some accounts and hundreds of tweets. The irony in congratulating him on something he should’ve have done the moment in deciding that he would not uphold free speech and sequester accounts and tweets at the governments request.
I'm not so keen or eager to think I know what Musk should do. Never managed the most significant public intel communications operation myself.... Besides, for me, he's earned a LOT of trust from his actions over the past 6 months. I've gone from knowing almost nothing about Musk 12 months ago to having a lot of respect for what he's doing....
