    Interesting how he can ban stuff on behalf of China, or when it’s someone criticizing him, or pointing out where his jet is.

      Cutting off Internet access to Ukrainian soldiers on the front lines just before an attack is fine, but removing a violent video from the Internet is just too far for him.

      It’s as simple as it gets: he’s just not a good person. His entire morality is self-serving.

    This little douche baby censors anything he can when it’s negative towards him or his companies. He’s a whiny hypocrite who would rather lie than be a decent human being.

    Ftr, video of people getting stabbed/dying doesn’t belong on Twitter.

      I’m a bit torn, because I think that horrific atrocities should be seen by the public for them to face the reality of the world we live in. The full color combat footage played on the nightly news during the 60’s and 70’s played a huge role in turning public support against the war. The horrors going in in places like Gaza, Ukraine, Myanmar, Yeman and Sudan shouldn’t be hidden from our “sensible” Western eyes when it is daily life for millions across the globe.

      Snuff films like 3 Guys, 1 Hammer probably don’t belong on Twitter, but I don’t know where the line should be drawn. Should footage of JFK’s assassination be censored and hidden from public view? What about the attempt on Regan? Or the killing of George Floyd? What about footage of US sponsored drone strikes on civilians?

    In Australia this is being seen / reported as suppression violence depiction, not censorship.

        Interestingly, that does not appear to have been discovered by the local media.

        I also checked the Christchurch Call website which clearly shows Xitter as a member of the community that agreed to:

        “Take transparent, specific measures seeking to prevent the upload of terrorist and violent extremist content and to prevent its dissemination on social media and similar content-sharing services, including its immediate and permanent removal, without prejudice to law enforcement and user appeals requirements, in a manner consistent with human rights and fundamental freedoms. Cooperative measures to achieve these outcomes may include technology development, the expansion and use of shared databases of hashes and URLs, and effective notice and takedown procedures.”

      That’s just a type of censorship. That doesn’t make Australia wrong here, but it is censoring based on content.

        Fun fact: if Xitter wants to do business in Australia they have to follow their laws. This was never a problem until a manchild was in charge

          Of course - not that it should surprise anybody that Elon Musk has absolutely zero integrity.

              I’m criticizing Australia for trying to tell South Koreans what content they can share online with other South Koreans, amongst other things. Australia isn’t the World Police. I can freely join you in despising Elon Musk while still being very critical of the Aussie government.

                So then Twitter should not adhere to what Musk personally said they would adhere to.

                Because the Christchurch Call doesn’t say that terrorism videos should be taken down on a country-by-country basis.

                  An agreement Twitter consentually signed/agreed to is radically different from what the Aussie govt is trying to do here. Why are you conflating the two?

          Here’s a doozy:

          The current Christchurch Call website shows Xitter as a signatory. What if man child demands that his company is taken off the website and it refuses?

    Elons got some crazy brain rot. Even a lot of his SciFi colonize Mars ideas are terribly out of date.
