CitizenFreePress, a heavily trafficked news aggregation site, was suspended from Twitter this week after sharing a video of former president Barack Obama campaigning in Ohio in 2008.
Obama is seen in the video telling a crowd in Philadelphia, Ohio boasting about Democrats controlling the election voting machines.
Barack Obama: “I tell you what, it helps in Ohio that we got Democrats in charge of the machines. But look, I come from Chicago so I want to be honest. It’s not as if it’s just Republicans who have monkeyed around with elections in the past, sometimes Democrats have too. Whenever people are in power they have this tendency to try to, you know, tilt things in their direction.”

That meeting Musk had a few weeks ago with the ADL has had an impact on Musk.
I don’t think Musk has the guts to stand up to these people. He has a sharp mouth, but not to these people.This is censorship and not free speech. If Obama made a video, it should be seen on Twitter or any other platform.
you’re selling your soul, boiling frog.
This is NOT free speech
you’re selling your soul, boiling frog.
that’s disingenuous. It’s far beyond no comments; why did you leave out sharing it or liking it?? This is NOT an acceptable form of free speech and Elon is lying to the people re what his platform will now be. It’s fraudulent to say the least.
Truth Social is the only free speech platform there is and, that’s sad for a country built on free speech.
you are a democrat in democrat clothing. To sell this as acceptable free speech is beyond false.
I always hang on Citizen Free Press for ‘Champagne Room’ on Fridays and Saturdays...great music and beautiful girls!
We don’t live in a perfect world. Only liberals believe that. You have all the free speech you want at other sites. such as TRuth Social. May it win. There is a market place, let it work. Even in church there has to be some control of the busy bodies.
Musk is a step in the right direction. TAke it.
I don’t make excuses for tyranny lite as some acceptable form of appeasing our first amendment.
just wow.
Free speech is not absolute, never has been.
Tell me why the comments and the “like” are so important to you for your free speech. Help me understand. If the number of likes determines your perception, you are in problems. You are going to have to do your own thinking
Historically we read most of the newspaper without comments and then talked about it at the local coffee shop or bar. What is different here?
This is a great advance in that a lot of things like this video on obama is posted for the record.
The fact that it has a “warning” can draw attention to it.
You need higher ground to see things better.
Bingo.
If Obama made a video, it should be seen on Twitter or any other platform.
HOw many times do we have to say it. It is there on twitter according to the article.
CFP is not. Your Musk-rat love is obvious.
I think he has a way to go yet before he gets a free pass from me
I think he has a way to go yet before he gets a free pass from me
NOBODY says this is a perfect situation. Take a small win when you get it.
I don’t understand why this is such a problem. You can post there and debate it somewhere else. Musk will not use those posts for his advertising revenue. You really have a problem with that?
Again, we used to read our newspapers without comments and likes. We discussed it somewhere else. It worked.
Read the article, don’t make assumptions and jump to conclusions.
I don’t know if Elon had a person role in this, but if he lets it stand then that says a lot about his new twitter. And it should be boycotted as always.
Can’t trust these african americans
Wait - whut?
If someone says something you don’t like and you get to rebut them, is it not free speech on both ends because they get to say it and you get to opine on it?
pretty sure you’re responding to the wrong person. I am ALL FOR full, free speech. The other poster is good with watered down tyranny where you can’t reply, like or share something that TWITTER deems offensive. That is NOT free speech to me.
