Hi,
I have to admit I’m glad that Elon Musk & Donald Trump exist, to balance this crazy world of censorship ( some times also covered as “moderation” )
In Macronie ( ex France ) where I reside, Freedom of speech is dead.
A funny meme, but sadly real…
So Twitter ( aka X ) bought by Mr. Musk is a relieve. Apparently ( since they clean it ) a space with no, or less censorship Hooray !
And here in our totalitarian regime,
this is BAD, very BAD ! That’s why Europe started public relation campaign ( aka propaganda ) to make peoples quit Twitter
So concretely all the company, body etc… founded by Europe are asked to quite Twitter and to advertise loud about it…
On the other side, I’ve tried many time to join Twitter trough the TOR network !! ( That protect your anonymity ) But those accounts are within 6 hours banned…
So, I don’t understand , why the fuck, Twitter ban people that use TOR !? If they were really wanted the common good…
Note that peoples that live in Europe and create a Twitter ( or actually any social media account ) without TOR or something similar take tremendous risk to do so !
Any way Twitter is a centralized platform and this is not good ! can’t wait to see a real decentralized place, kind like Lemmy, but Lemmy can be bring down too easily ! compare to an .onion
if the freedom of expression is limited to the ideas that we like, it is not freedom of expression. Noam Chomsky.

Lol, yeah they’re totally free speech absolutists and not fascists who attack their political enemies and anyone who doesn’t kiss the ring. /s
No, it’s not. The government isn’t scared of censoring lawful speech, regardless of how many guns we have. That’s a fantasy promoted by gun lovers with a hero complex. Look at how many protests to which they send goon squads. Also, average Americans have no idea what goes on in Europe. Americans are self-centered ignoramuses and think the entire world revolves around them.
You can’t possibly be this naive. You’re trolling, right? Elon Musk is a Nazi. He routinely silences people he doesn’t like, especially anyone of note who calls out his bad behavior.
Because they’re not. They don’t give two shits about the public good. Elon bought Twitter to influence elections; it’s his personal propaganda machine. I can’t believe you are this ignorant…
No it can’t. Governments around the world would have to take each individual instance down. They can’t just ban Lemmy, because it’s not a single company.
Also, Mastodon exists. Do some research on the Fediverse.
