Kanye actually didn't get booted until he posted a picture of shirtless Elon

Sounds like free speech. Why is Elon censoring him?

How is a shirtless pic of Elon inciting violence? He's just a typical RW hypocrite - rules for thee but not for me.

Where are all of Elon’s free speech fanboys? Shouldn’t you all be outraged at Kanye’s ban?

Breton told Musk that Twitter must adhere to a checklist of rules, including ditching an “arbitrary” approach to reinstating banned users, pursuing disinformation “aggressively” and agreeing to an “extensive independent audit” of the platform by next year.

Musk was warned that unless he stuck to those rules Twitter risked infringing the EU’s new Digital Services Act, a new law that sets the global standard for how Big Tech must police content on the internet. Breton reiterated Twitter could face a Europe-wide ban or fines of up to 6 per cent of global turnover if it breached the law."

I find that super disturbing because the whole "disinformation" thing is a way to excise undesirable information. I mean who would even decide what disinformation is or isn't? It's censorship.

^ This is how the right wing tries to blur the lines between fact and fiction.

The US Capitol was violently attacked because of disinformation. People were killed because of disinformation. Hundreds of thousands died unnecessarily because of COVID disinformation. School board members received messages threatening to murder them, rape their children and burn their homes down because of CRT disinformation. The US is at its most divisive since the Civil War because of toxic, intentional disinformation.

And, you find it "super disturbing" only because you're made all that toxic disinformation and gaslighting a central part of your strategy.

I, and millions of Americans, are SICK of playing your games. I agree with social media flagging disinformation for what it is. That is not censorship. That is you rightly being called out for your bullshit.

So you are happy to have bureaucrats in Europe decide for you what is disinformation (which you are not allowed to see) and what isn't?

Oooh, “bureaucrats”. So scary!!!

Yes I’m happy to have them get rid of the riot-inciting fake stuff, the racist and antisemitic stuff, the lies that seek to undermine democracy, the porn and the harmful “content,” none of which I want to see. Thanks.

It was the prior tweet. Because all of the auto moderation has been turned off, it all has to happen manually now.

I find it hilarious in his attempt to please all, he's pleasing no one.

Nice you gloss over the "in Europe" part. They ban books there.

How do you know which tweet? Did Elon say? In any case, how is a picture of a swastika inside a Star of David inciting violence? That makes no sense.
