The European Commission Offered x An Illegal Secret Deal
X (formerly Twitter) ^ | 07/12/24 | Elon Musk

Posted on 07/12/2024 9:22:57 AM PDT by Enlightened1

The European Commission offered 𝕏 an illegal secret deal: if we quietly censored speech without telling anyone, they would not fine us.

The other platforms accepted that deal.

X did not.

If you want to know who controls you, look at whom you’re not allowed to criticize.

Me too. I almost hate myself for liking him. I still think he could be the false prophet.

Him? I’m doubtful. The current “Pope?” Another story.

I want to know exactly what speech they want to censor. Are they targeting the right?

Have no clue regarding the false prophet angle, but he does what he acts in accordance as to what he sees as benefitting himself. that's what drives my caution concerning him.

In other words, he has no grounding morals that he believes in.

They get to decide what they want to censor—one day at a time.

Orwell explained it best:

“Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power.”

How can you read the article and come away with that? He stands up for free speech at great potential liability to himself and his companies.

The companies that took the EU deal, and the EU it's self are the ones with no grounding morals or principals.
