And when did it become the government’s job to monitor speech for “misinformation”?

Well, if anybody knows misinformation, it’s the White House press secretary.

when it comes to the hate that we’re seeing, that they take action, that they continue to take action. …

Hate is bad for the hater's well being (usually), but it's perfectly legal, in fact, protected by the US Constitution.

If Twitter is a “vector of misinformation,” how is it different from the internet in general?

Is anyone in the regime familiar with the quaint idea that one of the purposes of the First Amendment is to to protect controversial speech?

I’m pretty sure “misinformation” now means “not our information”.

Free Speech is guaranteed by the Constitution because our forefathers knew that government can’t be trusted with our right to free expression. How did we get so lost?

Anything the creepy evil left doesn’t agree with is labeled “mis/disinformation” by them.

It’s usually the opposite. It’s the truth they simply don’t want to hear and most of them are incapable of processing information that goes against their worldview.

This is why we know most leftists are also mentally deranged. Many belong in an asylum. Some in an asylum for the criminally insane for life. I could name names but most Freepers know the more infamous among them.

The Leftwing takeover of mainstream media. Once you control everything people are allowed to see and hear, there is nothing you cannot do.

More Alinsky tactics....

Twitter was the focus of all the evil in the social media
online, with child endangerment and 80.00% of its staff
seemingly geared toward preventing any truth from being
aired.

My how the Left hates being locked out.

Snuggles the Cabbage Patch Kid,Jean Pierre is not interested in the 1st amendment.

Exactly. Governments, in general, are notorious for spreading propaganda and misinformation. That's why an honest and free media is required to hold the feet of government to the fire and ensure government lies are exposed. Without that (which is where we are now) misinformation will flow freely from government - and in the US it does.

The government has no authority to control expressions of hate and more than they have the authority to demand expressions of love. Whether I love or whether I hate is my business and mine alone.
If freedom means anything it means I have the absolute right to my own feelings, my own thoughts, and my own attitudes. My mother may tell me to be nice. The government may not.

Just a thought. Every age has a few people who are remembered.

The ancient world Moses, Jesus, Julius Caesar.

The Middle Ages Charlemagne.

Then Guttenberg, Washington, Newton, Lincoln, etc.

Musk just might be one of the big ones in our times. Just maybe, he’s shaking things up just like the big names of the past.
