@Lash,
So-called journalist - according to Lash - Micha Lee is an information technology analyst and activist, working for the Freedom of the Press Foundation and was with the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) before joining The Intercept in 2014.


Oh, and links to Mastodon by users and Mastodon itself is blocked, because of "malware".
There is absolutely no evidence to support the suggestion that Mastodon contains malware - malicious software that can harm your device.

@hightor,
The job of some operative on some random day in some office of the DHS, FBI, or DNC.

“We’re gonna need a hit piece on a Jonathan Turley.”

The hit pieces on Matt Taibbi called him a conservative. Had to be stealth-edited because there were reams of legitimate background, detailing his classic American lib underpinning and views.

The pen is mightier than the sword. Democrats were smart to pay off failing media outlets, journalists hungry for access, others in powerful decision-making media /information roles. Propaganda works—until enough of the people figure it out.

Biased opinions which feign neutrality fulfill a similar function – until enough of the people figure it out.

The United Nations joins the EU in warning Elon Musk over a "disturbing" move to suspend journalists.

@Walter Hinteler,
Why doesn't everyone just turn Twitter off? Treat it like Fox news.

Interesting that the UN didn’t care that the DNC, FBI, and DHS were actively censoring voices that disagreed with the DNC MIC war narrative.

Europe will turn on the US government soon. They know we rigged this war—but they are the ones who’ll suffer.

I’ll wait.

@Lash,
Interesting that you don't mind that your favourite platform that professed to be a haven for freedom of speech silences journalists.

But obviously you prefer press freedom to be switched on and off on a whim.

Progressives don't speak for everyone. But they should just accept that they are no longer able to censor free speech on Twitter and get on with their life.

Fox News is a reputable news organization. They aren't tabloid trash like the BBC.

I have the exact same standards today that I had when the corrupt Democrat cabal was censoring real news and leftist opinions (and conservative opinions).

Only doxxing, incitement to violence, and threats should be censored.

An inside view of a Stanford doctor who released public health concerns about closing schools, who was invited by Musk to see his account, how it was shadow banned, and talk at minute 20 about relevant discovery and depositions.

@Lash,
I think it is a warning signal when Twitter put Ukraine on the list of terrorist countries two (or was it three?) days ago.

It could therefore be that Escalation Elon will at some point also destroy the part of his platform that does not directly concern him.

At the moment, however, Twitter is still a piece of international, almost global communication infrastructure.

@Walter Hinteler,
It is a private corporation, though, right? I mean, it was just a couple of weeks ago when you and your cronies were excusing several departments of the government for censoring speech.

A little psychosis tweet from Canada:

So a 30 year old vaccinated person dies suddenly of a pulmonary embolism and of course it's just a coincidence. But you get rear ended in a snow storm and it's because you're unvaccinated. 🤡 🇨🇦🤦 Canada is insanely dystopian right now.

MATT TAIBBI: THE TWITTER FILES 6
THE FBI SUBSIDIARY

Tweet: The reason it's news is because it reveals the fact that the FBI and other Federal agencies are doing things through proxies (in this case, Twitter) that it's unlawful for them to do directly: namely censor someone's speech that's protected by the First Amendment.

_____________

This is a job for the Supreme Court.

And still a privately owned company which gets to determine the rules for using the site.

And which has a high demand to promote free speech. Sometimes, when it suits the private owner.

@Walter Hinteler,
It has infinitely freer speech under Musk than it did under the FBI DNC DHS MIC.

On Friday, Twitter also suspended the account of Linette Lopez, a journalist for
@BusinessInsider who has written investigative reports about Tesla.

On Twitter, @jsrailton noted, "her sources have previously been targeted by private spies hired by Musk."

Musk later deleted this tweet. I can't imagine why.
