Did I say free speech? I meant shadow ban.
Elon Musk has been branded a Coward for rowing back on his previous promise to make Twitter a free-speech platform. Musk tweeted "New Twitter policy is freedom of speech, but not freedom of reach. Negative/hate tweets will be max deboosted & demonetized, so no ads or other revenue to Twitter. You won’t find the tweet unless you specifically seek it out, which is no different from rest of Internet."
The policy is lifted word for word from Twitter's previous owner; Communist Jack Dempsey prompting many who had restarted their accounts on the promise that it would be a proper free speech platform to delete them again.
Although Musk had previously promised Twitter 2.0 would be a free speech platform the truth is that nothing has really changed. If anything, the new policy is even worse, effectively shadow banning the tweeter who will be unaware that his or her tweet cannot be seen by anyone else.
This deception is especially nasty for those who have a professional account and pay a fee on the understanding that the platform is publishing their tweets when secretly they will be disappearing into a black hole, whilst all the time Musk continues taking a monthly fee for a service he's not really providing.
“Freedom of speech does not mean freedom of reach” is an idiotic meme put out by Jonathan Greenblatt of the Anti-Defamation League, a bigoted Marxist hate-group who attack anyone questioning the narrative.
Freedom of speech is freedom of reach. Simply put: you don’t have freedom of speech if you’re not allowed to speak in the public square.
The underlying policy of banning anything even remotely right wing as 'hate speech' is still very much at the core of the Twitterverse. shadow banning and “deboosting” speech deemed “hate” is the equivalent of locking someone trying to speak out at a town square in a soundproof box and then telling them they have “free speech” within the box as Chris
Menahan of Information Liberation testifies:
Musk’s policies are in many ways worse than before the takeover, but they’re seemingly not being enforced because most of Twitter’s employees have either resigned or been fired, however, even that is temporary. Musk is implementing AI software that will not only be able to detect 'hate speech' but predict it, demoting those it thinks are even about to tweet something it doesn't like.
