And the hits just keep on coming... So much for the 'free speech' he keeps babbling on about.
That was always the case with these guys.
Always. They don't, and never did, give a fuck about free speech. They only care about seeing that THEY and their allies have unfettered access to a platform to say toxic things.
Yep. Bellends, the lot of them.
And this is why X shouldn't replace official federally-run servers and communication channels.
I really hope that governments adopt the ActivityPub standard + RSS whenever possible, and allow users to subscribe to these feeds from the instance or software of their choice.
NOT LIKE THAT
I just got most of my friends and family on signal. I'm kind of scared of our government for the first time in my life.
Our government does not have our best interests in mind.
Death to X
Streisand Effect!
I have a feeling it won't work to the same degree since all the otber platforms are also owned by Trump stooges.
Yeah, but FREEZED PEACH, and the world's town square, AMIRIGHT, you guyyyzzzz?
This is the dumbest possible way to spin this censorship.
