The meltdown over Elon Musk’s acquirement of Twitter is my favorite world event of 2022 so far.

It is delicious.

I could sustain myself for years on the sight of commentators and activists wringing their hands to the bone over the possibility that – wait for it – there might be a smidgen more freedom of speech on Twitter once Musk takes over.

Probably unwittingly, these raging right-thinkers, these terrified Musk-fearers, have confirmed before the eyes of the world that there is nothing they dread more than free speech, and I cannot get enough of it.

It really has become hysterical.

The minute Musk hinted, last month, that he wanted to take over Twitter, the Twitterati went bananas. When he secured a 9.2 per cent stake in Twitter a couple of weeks ago, people were fearing for the future of humanity itself.

‘I am frightened by the impact on society and politics if Elon Musk acquires Twitter’, said Max Boot of the Washington Post.

Others foresaw even darker things if Musk were to liberate Twitter from some of its stiffer forms of content moderation.

‘Today on Twitter feels like the last evening in a Berlin nightclub at the twilight of Weimar Germany’, said Jeff Jarvis of New York University. Yeah, right, because the Nazis were well known for their love of freedom of speech and letting folk say what they want.

Now that Musk’s takeover is a done deal, the meltdown has intensified.

George Monbiot says Musk and his ‘free speech absolutism’ will prove ‘lethal’. That’s lethal as in ‘sufficient to cause death’.

Musk the murderer, with his deadly weapon of unregulated chatter!

And of course it’s all about racism, too, as is everything these days. Shaun King said Musk’s purchase of Twitter is really a ruse to promote ‘white power’. Apparently Musk, who was ‘raised in Apartheid’, is peeved that Twitter’s current overlords ‘won’t allow white nationalists to target/harass people’. So basically he’s spending $46 billion to allow a few chinless racists to spout drivel online. Sounds convincing.

Hatred, racism, actual fascism, real-world lethal consequences – this is what the chattering classes predict will flow from Musk’s buying of Twitter.

It is, to be frank, insane.

It is also incredibly revealing.

It confirms beautifully, and scarily, that many people in positions of influence and power now view freedom of speech as a toxic thing.

Twitter didn't cancel or shut down opposing viewpoints.

Yes, it did you lying twit. It shut down the NY Post for the story on Hunter's laptop. It shut down a US President's account.

Here are others: Roger Stone (@RogerJStoneJr), Candace Owens, Alex Jones (@RealAlexJones) and InfoWars (@infowars), Journalist Meghan Murphy (@MeghanEMurphy), Laura Loomer (@LauraLoomer), David Horowitz (@horowitz39) just to mention a few. Dunce.
:palm:

It did, however, have terms of use, such as restrictions against sharing certain disinformation articles or hard-core porn. I don't know what restrictions this particular oligarch will put on the forum once it's his to do with as he pleases. You don't know either. We will see.

Wrong and pure bullshit.

So tell me snowflake, who is this "decider" of what is acceptable content and what is not? Who is the "decider" of what information is okay and what is not? The problem with leftist Fascism is that it requires a "decider" of what is acceptable. Might as well live in China or Cuba if that's what you like.
:palm:
 
Oh, those mean old leftist not wanting disinformation propaganda. He plans to get rid of bots, I support that.

Ironic coming from the left who does nothing BUT propagate lies and disinformation. So tell me, who should be the "decider" of disinformation? You? Some faceless geek on twitter? Some faceless bureaucrat in Washington DC? Fauci? :palm:
 
Dooooooooshbag idiot in need of a lobotomy.

Yes, you are. But don't sell yourself short, you're also a are a repugnant, lying, low IQ, worthless piece of human filth.

You should do the world a favor and kill yourself. No one would care. No one would notice. The world's collective IQ would go up.
