Musk’s X affects public opinion, which, in turn, affects election results, which, in turn, can determine whether a country remains a democracy – which, in turn, affects you
You either haven’t taken the time to objectively look through what taibi and Weiss uncovered (which is unlikely given your profession) or you’re just too ideologically captured to admit that what was happening in the run up to 2020 and after was absolutely government interfering with public discourse. THAT is far more dangerous than any Russian bot boogy man that might make stupid people believe stupid things. The hunter Biden laptop cover up prior to the debate alone had a massive impact on the election. I’m not a conservative but I don’t like being propagandized by my government. Anyway just bc it helped my guy win doesn’t mean it’s ok. You spent a lot of time talking about how the government not being able to control the flow of information is a threat to democracy but conveniently don’t have a problem when that same government intentionally colluded with private industry to suppress information that they know is true. It makes it really hard to take anything else you say seriously. When government and industry would collude to oppress or manipulate the population for their mutual gain we used to call that fascism. I know now that term is used to describe anyone to the right of AOC but that wasn’t always the case.
I would like to know what "actual facts" (you suggest) were suppressed, because asking a private company to pull down disinformation is a good thing. The government didn't force anybody to do anything so that's where you're wrong, as far as I know. Free speech doesn't cover lies and threats. Disinformation is killing us, and personally I hate liars so I wish they could pull down disinformation every time. If you have to lie to try to get your point across, you've already lost.
Your ignorance is stunning. If I were the author I wouldn't even respond to your plethora of lies, disinformation & propaganda. Do you get that the "government" was under Trump in the run up to 2020, right? Bannon admitted to planting porn & other unsavory things onto Hunter's laptop. Did you miss the memo or what? How was it a cover-up when ReTHUGs across social media were braying about Hunter Biden for years now? You don't like propaganda....wow, you are truly ignorant, because right wing propaganda is all your believe & what your spouting thinking you're telling facts. The only one who colluded was Donald
trump, his son & other GOP operatives with Russia to first find dirt on Hillary, to hack & rig 2016, & then to find dirt on Biden. You don't understand what fascism means so I suggest you look that up. Here's a hint though....'ole Donnie hits all of the 14 points, so try again. AOC is a very small player in the game & the Dem party, but as usual, you fail to understand that obvious fact, as well. Sigh....if I were you, I'd stick to what I know. You don't know politics, history, civics, or english comp.
President Trump? Yeah he was kicked off the platform after January 7 after inciting an insurrection and causing people to get killed. He has his own mouthpiece to lie to the American people.
Trespassing isn't insurrection. Ashley Babbit murdered by a law enforcement officer firing blindly. Trump won 18 of 19 bellwhether counties. Voting machine in Michigan caught switching votes from Trump to Biden.
Definitely not firing blindly, he aimed and took the shot as he was trained to do to protect the men and women working in that building! How would you treat someone breaking into your house?
Stop LYING about the Jan. 6 attempted coup. You do know that some of that blood thirsty group were trying to murder Pelosi & Pence, right? Babbit was rightfully shot for attempting to breach the Capital with a weapon. Would you call it murder if she had tried to come into your house? I think not. Trump LOST by a landslide. Fox News, your source, has lost a lawsuit for malicious lies about two different voter machine companies. No MI did not. Furthermore, braintrust....those claims are from the 2000 election when voting machines consistently were reported for going to Bush when people voted for Gore. Nice try....
This article is right on point with what I was just thinking about. I don't understand how the DOJ allows this clown Musk to put his thumb on the scale of democracy. He's not even from the U.S., so his actions are that much more egregious. There should be a law against using one's personal business to meddle in elections & flood social media with propaganda & disinformation.
While pundits & journalists clutch their pearls about what to do to stop the lies....I know that there is only one answer to the spread of lies, propaganda, hate, etc... It's to make propaganda illegal, to bring back the Fairness Doctrine & expand it so that it effects all news across all media. I want to specify again, for those that confuse it with the equal time rule. I'm not interested in that rule. I'm talking about the Fairness Doctrine, not the incorrect definition that Wikipedia has, but the one FDR put into place so U.S. citizens could get uncontaminated news without the opinion, spin, lies, propaganda, misinformation, or convenient omissions. That was the main point of the Fairness Doctrine that was corruptly repealed by Bush Sr.'s (not Reagan) FCC. That is what allowed Foxy to begin it's Goebbels style assault on the truth, our democracy, & our right to life, liberty & the pursuit of happiness.

Jack Dorsey, CEO of twitter, forbade the president from posting on twitter during the campaign.

the facts are far different to the myths you believe in and pass on
Good luck with all that, sore loser.

So did Facebook and it was wonderful!
I forget the technical dates of the campaign, from the convention to the election, but he emitted nearly 3500 from mid-August to November, 2020.
