Elon "Free speech absolutist" Musk proves once again that he doesn't give a shit about free speech. He only cares about right-wing speech.

@cowvin

@demvoter It's such fucking cringe when all the bootlickers at the beginning were like "He's really for free speech guyzz!!11". Everyone knew this wasn't true

Look, it's the public square! It's very important that it have free and unfettered discussion by the people who will tell me I'm great for hurting some other people! Liberals and leftists whine about how nobody should be being hurt, but where's the rush of exercising power to not hurt people?

Twitter blocks promotion due to lack of pro-hate crime messaging. "We really need to see the vile amped up moving forward" a Twitter employee mentioned before asking for any loose change and then climbing back into the nearby dumpster/breakroom.

"Do you know that if you make abortions legal and available, fewer black people will be born?"

You need to adjust your messaging depending on your audience/platform.

Twitter blocked a Democrat’s campaign video from being promoted on its platform because it expressed support for abortion rights, according to email conversations obtained by HuffPost.

The video, created by North Carolina state Sen. Rachel Hunt (D) for her campaign for lieutenant governor, centers on abortion rights in North Carolina and the fall of Roe v. Wade. Hunt says in the video that she’s running for lieutenant governor to combat anti-choice Republicans who recently passed a 12-week abortion ban in the state.

Twitter is such a joke. Silencing Turkish opposition parties, working with the Saudi's and now no abortion advocacy.

Twitter's CEO is going to that child labor in his Tesla factories, Roe v Wade would mess with that.

Twitter hates women...least they're finally admitting it

Wait, does it actually violate any rules at Twitter or did they just remove it because they don’t like it?
