Mark Zuckerberg: Threads users down by more than a half

Musk is using the For You feature to promote propaganda he approves of. My For You feed is full of paid climate change deniers, racists, mainstream far-right troll "journalists", and other people of questionable social value.

It's absolutely an example of political editorialising and narrative control.

And Musk now has a history of enabling criminal behaviour. https://gizmodo.com/twitter-dom-lucre-ban-elon-musk-child-ex...

So - yes, maybe it will continue in some form. But when progressive content is being deboosted it's not going to be the platform it used to be.

I would argue that it was the other way around before. It was also people with non-progessive views actually being entirely banned from the site. What is worthy of banning can quickly turn subjective, when really there are limited things both sides should agree are not permissible on a platform.
