It’s clear that Musk hates conservatives. Yes he gives lip service to them every once in a while, but his actions say otherwise. First he cancels Kanye, then he hires a far left CEO, now he wants to cancel AM radio, which is home to a lot of conservative talk radio.

Its preface (citation):
Elon Musk’s Twitter is facing new competition from a rival called Bluesky, a so-called decentralized communications app that is backed by Twitter co-founder and twice-former CEO, Jack Dorsey.

email, p2p, chatrooms and personal websites – all you need :)
Is this article really Ghacks!
I could not believe my eyes.
The article by the author, Emre Çitak, is the worst of the worst.
It is just a “worship” propaganda!
It is like Goebbels in Nazi Germany.
If it is always going to be these “adoration” articles and “commercial” blogs, Ghacks will be doomed to the same fate as the “Weimar Constitution”.
Let’s just leave out the most important point…… She’s a World Economic Forum member — Big negative!! Big Disappointment!
The WEF favors censoring the internet. This is were Linda comes from as well… it is a very top down approach for all of us here while it should be the other way round.
This is why you can’t trust people who claim to be free speech absolutists. They really mean free speech for them only and everybody else can shut up.
She also wants advertisers to have censorship and ranking of content. Doubleplus ungood.
Say it out loud in the article. Affiliated with the WEF. This information is vital to understanding the concern here.
