You have AS as far as I remember. It's ok, more complicated for you than for non-AS people (I don't have an AS but I read about it a lot in the past,as I had a friend with AS)

Interesting to note strumpet includes "cost of defence" when in fact it's in the US's interest to maintain military bases and presence so much nearer to China.

It's the stat the article you posted focused on though...

I agree, government requests for content removal has increased, and are being complied with more, but that makes total sense does it not?

Twitter used a stringent TOS on speech, when that was relaxed of course governments were going to intervene at a much higher rate. Especially in the first few years of ownership where X is trying to negotiate legal red lines in each country, changing legal definitions and even landscapes...

I'm not defending Musks actions, maybe he is lenient toward governments for financial interest, and the theories about requests and removals are just that, from both of us. But when Dorsey comes out and acknowledges Twitter was politically biased and he was powerless to stop it, like Zuckerberg just saying 'oopsie we backed the wrong horse' and had the gall and ability to block a sitting US president after acknowledging (after leaks of messages proving it) the 2 tweets they did it for didn't have merit to ban, then it's become a major issue, even before the child porn issues etc...

I would say, and without too much research, X banning Erdoğan political rival looks to be egregious also, I'm not surenif you've looked into it, but X is fighting with Erdoğan about thousands of requests for banning political and protest leaders.

Yes but I was talking about how Twitter censorship has risen, it's only a specific type that they have dropped.

Prior to Musk taking over, Twitter resisted more attempts by governments to remove content. Since Musk has taken over, it barely resists any. Again, not exactly the proponent of free speech if he rolls over the second any non-US government demands something be taken down.

Dorsey also stated there was no ill intent of hidden agenda behind Twitter's actions, just that mistakes were made. He also condemned the way Musk released the files in that they were cherry picked and didn't go far enough when it came to transparency. Also there is the point that, just because more right wing views get taken down, that doesn't automatically mean bias. https://bhr.stern.nyu.edu/quick-tak...es-are-not-unfairly-censored-on-social-media/

In essence more right wing views were taken down because right wingers were ones posting more disinformation and breaching the TOS more.

yeah, the coalition (UK conservatives and ironically includes a party called the liberals) is currently lead by dutton who has been dubbed "Temu Trump" due to him peddling a whole lot of new policies that look like when you copied someone's homework and just changed enough words so it wasn;t exactly the same
