        Twitter is not the internet, its now a misinformation site that financially rewards that misinformation.

        There are an awful lot of users who disagree with that and use it daily. I’m on there on and off all day to interact with my industry and the only misinformation I see is ads for games that have fake gameplay.

        This is just more of the same “Elon bad” crap over and over. Seriously, you’re encouraging the EU to censor the internet like China does because space man is bad.

          Yeah. Exactly. Space man is bad. It’s not free speech to harm others. We are in the US where woman don’t have rights over their choices in many states.

            What is this “free speech to harm others” narrative? Can you explain the logic on that one?

      We tried not censoring the internet and it hasn’t worked

      If it makes you feel better, think of it as Europe defederating from Twitter

        Whoever chooses which sites get banned from the internet has a whole load of power. They could feasibly, in time, become corrupt and end up banning threats to corporate monopolies, like the Fediverse.

          They will become corrupt over time. Power and money yield corruption. Always.

            Exactly. So I wouldn’t trust anyone with the power to dictate which websites you can visit and which you can’t

      Ya and ban all forms of protest against apartheid.

      That’s the EU and it would be the US too if we didn’t have the first amendment
