fought back against Turkey’s ban and overreaching takedown requests in a court of law
and won
that company was Twitter
Did your brain fall out of your head, Yglesias? The choice is have Twitter throttled in its entirety or limit access to some tweets. Which one do you want?

What Wikipedia did: we stood strong for our principles and fought to the Supreme Court of Turkey and won. This is what it means to treat freedom of expression as a principle rather than a slogan.

Yeah, we know you're centrist grifters, that's what everyone is saying.
You don't have a real political ideology or any social values because this is all about monetizing other people's values for your own gain.
You are openly building your social media/crypto business by exploiting the discourse around very serious dangerous threats to our communities.
Building a following by pretending to be leftists, only to use it for social climbing and grifting is fucking disgusting.
Absolute clowns desperately trying to pal around w/ Elon - a hardcore right-wing extremist who spreads dangerous misinformation; targeting journalists, leftists, scientists, transgender people, and people of color.
Remind me, are you guys still pretending to be on the left?
It was never a transformation, they have always been emphatically no-values SEO tweets for engagement to build their financial/crypto business.
They only reason they ever seemed “left” is because the biggest account to engage with was Trump’s, and they were reply guys.
These dudes get let back on here and immediately run to lick the deepest part of Elon’s boot while shilling weird crypto bullshit now that their resistance grift bullshit isn’t working anymore.
So, to be clear, Elon is explicitly saying that any government in the world has total control over what is allowed to be published on Twitter, simply by threatening to throttle the site.
Free speech*, baby!

reported the Allen, Texas shooter had links to neo-Nazis.
Elon Musk suggested their reporting was a “psyop” — and then apparently limited their reach on Twitter.
It’s very funny that my account on Twitter is so suppressed that a spam meme page I’m an admin on with less than 20k followers has had a bigger reach than my personal page since December when I got on Musk’s bad side
no no you guys don’t understand, forcing us to watch an old woman slowly dying in real time, is actually a brilliant political play to make all the other geriatric Democrats look downright vibrant!
remember when we used to call the soviet union a gerontocracy because the average age of their legislators was like 60 and now we’re wheeling out literal rotting corpses who couldn’t even tell you what decade it is
yeah ok be mad at ME that an immovable political figure being propped up by brutally incompetent political theater can be simply wiped out with a single child’s snack
