It’s a tool that they could use and were using to manipulate the American people.

You're losing me there bud.

Because of a lawsuit with HBO Max it has come to light that the CEO was forcing their interns to make fake Twitter post to shut up their dissenters.

This doesn't make sense as written

Sorry, I am doing this to my phone. The point is they benefit from Twitter going back to before Elon Musk where they could police one side and not the other and control what was available

where they could police one side and not the other and control what was available

how does this benefit a business? Do you see the problem with this reasoning?

Example: if a Disney movie comes out that’s ^a^ hot mess Disney could call up one of their points of contact at old twitter to hide, shadow ban, or alternative the likes. Which did happen with the Marvel movie and rotten tomatoes. No that no longer possible at X.

That's is vastly.more easy to do on X now than it was before.

There are less insiders working with these companies, X is trying to be neutral, and is trying not to be beholden to outside forces so I would have to disagree with you.
