I recently reported that Musk's X was hiring more "election disinformation" staff, and now it has a slew of updates before the 2024 election. These include enforcement of its "Freedom of Speech, Not Reach" policy, which involves suppressing content that allegedly breaks Twitter policies or upsets people without fully deleting it. This gives the illusion of free speech while practicing censorship. I wish I could say I was surprised, but unfortunately, this was fairly predictable, and from the moment Musk bought Twitter.

After all, Musk consistently panders to the Chinese Communist Party, which runs a tyrannical censorship regime. Furthermore, Musk's new X CEO Linda Yaccarino aligns with the anti-free speech World Economic Forum. She bragged recently of censoring to please X advertisers and contributed to a report that praised Communist China and endorsed state funding of media.
