   Musk's Saudi-government-funded "free speech" Twitter now considers "cis" a slur that can be punished by suspension of the account.

   Just a reminder that journalists are directly supporting his extremism by pouring their work into his site. And advertisers (including some media companies) are even more directly supporting his extremism.

   I have my own hypocrisies, but helping Musk poison our public discourse is not one of them.

     @dangillmor has there been an organized effort to send advertisers screenshots of their ads running against problematic tweets? Or show news orgs examples of their articles being used as misinfo or to stir up hate?

     @dangillmor to erase people you also have to erase the antonyms that imply they exist. Such public erasure is always the final step preceding genocide, where reality is then "made" to "conform" with belief.
