@c11fa870 Xitter is no a social media site anymore. It is a weapon, and the sight, the stock, trigger, of that weapon are hidden to casual observers by the flowers of sane people decorating it, as if it were not an array of howitzers being brought to bear at the American Democracy. https://www.thewrap.com/elon-musk-wikipedia-twitter-turkey-censorship/ Without even counting the racists platformed, Musk's military protection of the Russian Fleet blockading Ukrainian wheat exports ends all doubt about the evil of the platform.

@8664af58 @c11fa870 "Xitter is no a social media site anymore." It stopped being that no later than when Musk purchased it. It is now an invaluable disinformation propaganda disseminator for autocrats and fascists.

@6b43cb18 @c11fa870 Erdogan the dictator, being swept from office because controlling all the press wasnt enough when the crappy cheap buildings Erdogan insisted on, fell down killing Turks. But Elon prevented the democratic opposition from ANY COMMENTS when Erdogan spread Deep Fake Videos of the democratic opposition chanting terrorist slogans. Its not just thug nazis passing notes, its weapon aimed at democracy, home and abroad. https://www.newsweek.com/turkey-election-elon-musk-accused-censoring-erdogan-critics-twitter-1800134
