The decision once again puts Twitter CEO Elon Musk’s controversial free speech policies into the spotlight. This time, critics say, he is ceding to demands from Turkey’s right-wing leader, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Much of Turkey’s media is under government control, and critics accuse Ergodan of cracking down on social media companies to stifle opposition voices as he tries to stay in power.
@deadbeef what do you expect from big SM? They folded to Xi. They folded to Modi. They folded to Putin. And Abiy. And Khameni. And anywhere that threatens to block their service.
I see. I think it's important to document it despite the expected outcome because many people still see Elon as a defender of free speech (whatever that is).
