"Since his takeover of Twitter in 2022, Musk has nurtured the rise of these accounts, frequently commenting on their posts and sharing their content. He also has protected their anonymity. In March, X updated its privacy policy to ban people from exposing the identity of an anonymous user."
It's not about internet comments, per say. It's about Musk and X specifically. Leftists no longer control Twitter and it's an election year. The narrative going forward is Musk is dangerous and needs to be put under control.
I think you nailed it there. Twitter was a major player in the 2020 fraud, and they want that to happen again. Can't do it with Musk in control.
