Elon Musk to make Twitter a free speech platform

Jump to new
I think this is why Twitter will thrive -

Community notes

Don't forget, Glenn Greenwald was booted out of 'The Intercept' for questioning Hunter Biden’s Laptop and the narrative that it was all hogwash. He was correct.

But don't worry, the 2020 Election was the most secure in history™

Bbc is still pi5sed after Elon made their reporter look stupid. The reporter lied live and then tried to backtrack. It was a reflection of these leftist media types in action.
 
Shoot the messenger.
I note no one is saying that the article isn't fact.

Nobody doubts that Twitter has incidences of fake news. What is laughable to me is how the article is framed, with the implication thatt fake news is not rampant all over the place, only Twitter, because if Elon.

Fake news is everywhere, bro. Including the Beeb and Auntie, probably especially so as state propagandists.
 
I have been thinking that Elon Musk has taken the issues of free speech too far, but then along comes the eSafety commission.

Why does the eSafety commission want video footage of the stabbing of a Christian priest removed from all social media across the globe, but they are ok with all the other atrocities posted every day?

Why does the Prime Minister agree, yet they are ok with all the violent videos, movies and games that children have access to?

Who decides what citizens can watch and not have access to?

Are there different levels of citizen access rights?

Must all the rights of all the people be limited due to the few idiots?

Nationals Senator Matt Canavan has blasted Anthony Albanese for conflating the eSafety commissioner’s takedown orders for Elon Musk – which relate to videos of the Wakeley Church stabbing – with a lack of “policing” misinformation on the platform.

Senator Canavan had strong words for the Prime Minister when he spoke to Sky News on Tuesday morning, as he drew comparisons between the attack and the death of Warlpiri man Kumanjayi Walker in 2019.
“What the Prime Minister is trying to do here is to use a violent stabbing, a terrible incident in western Sydney, to say somehow he now needs a government power to tell you what you can say,” he said.

“Are we going to enter a world where Australian individuals effectively need a license to speak their mind?” he asked.

“There’s much more graphic videos available on social media and mainstream media websites which are not taken down – so the issue here is that this video, apparently… is causing social division.

“Now who gets to decide what division is good and what division is bad? Because as I say, the video of Mr Walker being killed in Yuendumu a few years ago did lead to substantial division, it led to riots and protests in Indigenous communities in the Northern Territory, yet there was no attempt to take that video down,” he said.

Senator Canavan weighed into the government’s stoush with X and said it was ironic that Anthony Albanese and fellow politicians were using "misinformation" as their argument when electoral promises go undelivered.

“I certainly don’t want or think politicians should be put in the position of having to police that speech when people like Mr Albanese are the biggest peddlers of misinformation in this country,” he said.

“I mean where’s that $275m dollars, where’s our Royal Commission into Covid? I mean why do the politicians get off scot-free for telling lies constantly yet apparently it’s only individual Australians who post things on social media that get policed?”

It is not about online safety whatsoever, it is about managing the narrative.
