Twitter used to be a place where false narratives were protected and promoted. Now it's a place where they're challenged and corrected.

It's easy to think Musk has botched everything if by "everything" you mean the old system of strict narrative control. But he meant to abolish… https://t.co/hbjyL2b352

So many BI posters posting Twitter links constantly, so much so that there are complaints about pages not loading due to the shear amount of Twitter links. Not using Twitter apparently hasn't been going so well. Are liberals getting DT's and falling off the wagon? Musk owns the most real estate in the world.

I mean, it's mostly just okaydo.

Dont forget Going4Roses.
He uses Twitter and TikTok as a surrogate.
In fact, it's a rare post when he doesnt post links from the above.

I used to criticize Okaydo for posting twitter links but I think it's become the best way to share current events type content. The embed feature on BI is great and it gives the poster an opportunity to share a snippet and a link to the source content. Obviously posters will differ in how they introduce and reflect on the content they share, but I think twitter posts are often the best content to share.

The alternative (which I also use when I think it's best) is to post links to the original source and/or block quotes. The worst is when people vaguely reference something they read, but they don't provide a link and are often times just completely wrong. This is common with the, shall we say, more mature generation.

Tiktok links are annoying because there is no embed feature. If there were, I would be far more likely to view them or whatever but given that the links tell you nothing about the content I'm not about to go and click on them to get taken to some other website to view content that may or may not interest me.

I am a big fan of Twitter now that government agencies aren't strongly suggesting (dictating) which posts are hidden and which are highlighted.

Yeah, it is much more up your alley for Musk to be dictating what we see on Twitter as opposed to government officials -- from both parties -- merely requesting certain content be removed. Especially when the dictator is the subject of this tweet:

Today, Elon is going full mask off. He has:

- shared an article claiming Zuckerberg stole the election for Biden
- claims the media is racist against white people
- denied the Allen shooter was a neo-Nazi and claimed it was a psyop.

This is all fascist propaganda. pic.twitter.com/7aWctUiQqx

How is this an example of Musk dictating what is seen? This seems to be more of an example of you wanting what Musk posted not to be seen. You seem to support the previous government influenced Twitter censorship, and therefore don't like the new Twitter.

The (Democrat) government had hundreds of people in various agencies flagging posts for review; in addition, don't forget 'former' FIB hires at Twitter, Facebook, etc.; as well as any unknown number of FIB / CIA individuals employed / paid at NBC, ABC, NYT, etc.

Years after the Cold War ended, an aging CIA agent met up with an old KGB rival for a friendly drink.

“I have to admit, I was always so impressed by Soviet propaganda,” says the CIA spy. “You really know how to get people worked up.”

“Thanks,” replies the KGB officer, “but it's… pic.twitter.com/ks0bFHTR0m

Strange that election officials from pivotal regions attended a far left conference when they’re supposed to be impartial

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) May 9, 2023

I did not say this was my proof, similar to how you did not provide proof for your claim that the government dictates what you see on Twitter. The reason for including the tweet in my previous reply is to show how radical Musk is. Speaking from personal experience, I started seeing tweets from extreme right-wingers shortly after Musk took over. There was a new tweet from Musk himself in my feed literally every time I logged on, even though I had not adjusted any preference or changed my behavior on Twitter. I never signed up for his far-right conspiracy theories yet there they were.

That's free speech. You're OK BLM Marxists and child groomers?

It's happening *more* often now...

NEW: Twitter basically stopped fighting gov demands for censorship & surveillance under Musk.

Shameful.

If only Elno used the massive influence he purchased with Twitter (and augmented through elevating his account) to call out disingenuous right wing talking points instead of amplifying them through his sea lioning.

His post is not disingenuous. It is contrasting the amplified coverage between white on black crime vs black on white crime. Neither of which are specifically a problem, but the media amplifies white on black crime, just like GFR amplifies questionable law enforcement behavior. It is divisive.

Which government? There are several countries filling as many or more takedown requests as the US (e.g. India).

Some more likely explanations:
Maybe Musk fired all the people who would have pushed back on these requests.

Maybe the people left don't have time to try and fight takedown requests from every government.

Maybe Musk doesn't really care about free speech and mostly cares about promoting his viewpoint...
