100% "X is an organized crime group". if you count brainwashing as a crime, which i do.
they're manipulating public opinion towards what the rich want to hear. it's all propaganda.
elon musk bought twitter to conduct "social engineering" after doing classical engineering before at tesla. it's all just a way to control what people think, and it's partially working. the people need to get off commercial social media and use something community-hosted, like the fediverse. to reduce the tinkering with recommendation algorithms and also to reduce the bot army.
It is not censorship. This is not a government telling you what to publish or not. This is just finding out how a company is abusing its product to influence politics.
US condemns....
Good. That means you're doing the right thing. Keep doing it.
Them: Democratic governments should allow all voices to be heard
Us: Free Palestine
Them: Terrorist!
By condemning this, the "US" is shooting itself in the foot.
Ever since Twitter owner used Twitter to say Canada "wasn't a real country", no Canadian should be using Twitter. That wasn't just bias, it was an "in your face and screw you" kind of bias.
Twitter only allows nazi speech now.
The US Administration, more importantly a branch of the department of state, condemns French inquiry.
A lot of the USA are cheering the French on.
Martin: Organized crime?
Cosmo: Hah. Don't kid yourself. It's not that organized.– Sneakers (1992)
Twitter is absolutely going to say "well, we're definitely not an organised hate group. Sometimes people just hate stuff. We're just a social media platform, helping people organise. Oh shit"
Of course the US will fight tooth and nail to keep its propaganda machines at work all around the globe.
While defunding NPR and PBS.

A French Inquiry...
"Did you ehhhhhh.... do ze crime?"
"Non"
"Par Excellence! Time for some coffee and cigarettes!"
I hear cigarettes have ironically fallen out of popularity in France, despite it being seen as culturally significant in the past.
Could call it a... French inquisition
EU just rolled over on trade with US. If anyone hopes for some actual fight against US and US corporations coming for Europe they will be disappointment.
Very disappointing indeed. Hoping to at least see continued work on digital independence, especially in governmental entities.
EU just rolled over on trade with US.
Controlled Opposition. The plutocrats in Europe and the plutocrats in America have been working hand-in-glove for over a century. This is no different than the German government "rolling over" for IBM and Ford and Coca-Cola in the 1930s.
Vasals gonna vasal
Just block it in Europe already. Or give Musk daily-increasing fines so he has it turned off in the EU.
Just block it in Europe already.
The Brazil Government did this for a week and immediately extracted big concessions from Elon. Really curious to see the EU so reluctant to employ a tried-and-true tactic... assuming you believe these governments are adversarial to American plutocrats.
The Uk is never gonna block anything from the US let's be honest, the EU might and maybe the rest of Europe, but the UK will not follow.
As a UKian, this is unfortunately true. No matter how many of us want to just cut off the US completely, the government will always capitulate.
They are literally blocking post on x under their new protect the children rules. Which is a rule that will be abuse

Democratic governments should allow all voices to be heard, not silence speech they dislike.
That's real fucking rich coming from the government that:
- Removed all references to "trans-" regardless of context.
- Retaliates against left-leaning press.
- Calls information they dislike "fake news".
- Sends immigrants to concentration camps.
I'm not even joking, I thought that whoever wrote this tweet was supporting the French investigation when I first read that.
Don't forget
removed funding for weather services or deleted materials related to climate change
runs from people trying to ask them questions

Translation help from Fascist English to US English:
- "activist" = a non-politician whose free speech we don't like
- "allow all voices to be heard" / "free speech" = extremist/unconstitutional/propaganda speech which serves the interests of the current fascist regime must be allowed, while every other speech will be labelled as being activist/communist/un-American/...
- "defend [...] all Americans" = at least the part of Americans which we tolerate or haven't jailed yet (subject to change)
