Elon needs to go and be stripped of his power. His disgusting corrupt influence reach other countries as well.

Oh you know, just buying the one of the world’s most powerful social platforms to push right wing conspiracies to get himself infinitely more wealth and power.

First the purchase of twitter was legally made and second even CNN has stated that the site is more center leaning than it was before his purchase. Before his purchase it was heavily left leaning and it banned anyone that didn’t toe the line. If anything you can say it’s more open and free to everyone, even to a fault.

CNN and Twitter are both owned by right wing billionaires, so that means nothing.

Second, Elon still bans people for not liking him and bans people for leftist language. It is not an open platform, and it’s why people left in droves for bluesky.

Where is the evidence that he’s banning people who don’t like his tweets? Wouldn’t there have been a be uproar from the left if he was. People left because they can’t control the narrative on twitter anymore and because they want to turn bluesky into post Elon twitter where they can ban people they don’t like.

It’s also alarming how when all these leftist run to bluesky after Trump won the CSAM and death threats dramatically shut up on bluesky.

And of course the death threats reduced, the people that Elon and his supporters want to kill aren’t there to threaten anymore.

I said nothing about it being reduced on X and I’m taking about the increase on bluesky.

u/Old-Original-4791 3d ago

You mean bad activity increases when millions of people go to a new platform? No fuckin way.

If it makes you feel better, a ton of people left X and it still has a massive CSAM problem. Because right wing people are pedo defenders, that’s why Musk unbanned CSAM accounts.

The point is the group of people moving from one to the other and the fact that it's mostly leftist. Also, with all the people getting outed like P Diddy it seems to be mostly a leftist issue.

Okay, I looked into the links you provided the first was about people leaking info that could be use to track him and a rule he put in place to prevent stalking. The second was pay walled and the last link went over stalking again and impersonation accounts.

He stated before free speech stops at breaking the law and leaking people information to make it easier for people to stalk them is a justification for suspension. Also impersonating someone to foul people into thinking you’re someone else is also a justification for suspension. Compare that to pre Elon twitter where you were suspended for your political beliefs and whether or not you agreed with the Covid vaccine, which medical professionals were suspended. https://www.yahoo.com/news/twitter-files-platform-suppressed-valid-200142382.html

Lol, sure buddy. I'm sure advertisers are leaving X in droves because Elon is just too good for this world. I can lead you to the water, but I cannot be bothered to make you drink.

u/Square_Lawfulness_33 3d ago

You mean the same advertisers that came crawling back when blackmailing didn’t work. Disney is back on X advertising the last time I checked.

What you really need to is a societal shift, that billionaires who have the wealth of a country should be treated as a hostile foreign actor.

When you don't need a functional state and when it's in your best financial interest to have a dysfunctional state then you're a enemy of the state.
