And instead of censoring "secretly" in partnership with the US government they do so in partnership with the Indian government as well as individual Republican politicians.

Hard disagree. The platform is objectively much better than it was under Jack Dorsey.

> The algorithm isn't open enough that anybody can see if what it's doing matches the code.

Fair, but more is available than before.

> ...in partnership with the Indian government as well as individual Republican politicians.

Would you prefer X break India's laws, specifically Section 69A of the IT Act? I suppose they could do that and then the Indian government would shut them down in India.

Also, are you talking about X suspending Ken Klippenstein's account for doxxing JD Vance? X's rules explicitly state that doxxing people will result in a suspension, so maybe Klippenstein should have thought of that before posting Vance's home address and most of his social security number.

Here's X's policy against what Klippenstein did, which applies to everyone: https://help.x.com/en/rules-and-policies/personal-informatio...

The platform can not be called better, with more bugs and errors than ever.

Why don't they apply those rules to Republicans? Why can they specifically post stuff like private info about Hunter?

Grok is a nice feature, although for paid accounts only. It also seems slightly out of place on X. Most people are there to express themselves, not necessarily seek help or information from AI-gen. I tried it for some coding help, and it did fine.. but doing that task on X felt odd.

I'm in Australia, explanation follows:
