"Freedom of speech, not reach," is taking effect more than ever as Twitter ("X") regresses to its 1.0 days. Ever since Elon Musk hired CEO Linda Yaccarino, who has close ties to the World Economic Forum, things have taken a turn for the worse.

In short, "lawful but awful" accounts and external links (especially Substack) are getting brutally deboosted. And permanent suspensions, which were promised to be reserved for unlawful speech only, have made a big comeback.

Now, Twitter ("X") is taking further action by making undesirable videos unplayable.

What type of videos in particular? Well, mine…

I recently uploaded a video of Democratic Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. that garnered over 500,000 views. The post and the text stayed up, but the video was taken down. Had the video not been taken down, the post could have seen a million views or more.

Users also reported X was "blocking" them from retweeting. Now, that's something reminiscent of 2021 and early 2022 — BEFORE Elon took over the platform. So, this is concerning.
