Twitter under Musk complies with more government demands than it did previously [0]. It was a Republican governing party making the requests prior to Musk taking over. How do these facts fit with your preconceptions?

Some people are getting to see how authoritarians work in real time.

Authoritarian: "The people I don't like are stomping on babies!"

Unliked group: "Hold up, we actually have video of you baby stomping"

Auth: "See, see, see, I told you they were going to make stuff up and accuse me of being the bad guy, this is evidence they are bad"

Middle Ground Guy: "Well, I guess both sides are bad"

OP was obviously talking about partisan requests from the US government to ban right wing accounts. You cited some article completely unrelated to his comment but of course you already knew that. "Errrmmm fact check!". You Elon/Twitter haters are so unbearable bro lmao
