“Free speech absolutism” apparently means cozying up to fascists and conspiracy mongering grifters while banning journalists

If Musk isn’t careful, he’s going to find himself holding the bag as credible people abandon Twitter

Elon Musk is whining about how his private jet is being tracked and banning journalists who cover it, claiming they're evading his no doxxing rule.

Musk claims it's about protecting private information.

But this past weekend, he met with fringe epidemiologist Dr. Jay Bhattacharya of Stanford and the Hoover Institution, who tweeted out my phone number to his hundreds of thousands of followers. Musk apparently promised him "access" to Twiter...

What a charlatan.

Elon Musk is dropping any and all pretense and just banning journalists and critics. He’s not about free speech. He’s about personal validation.

He is taking one of the most important social media platforms — used by journalists, government officials, whistleblowers, and activists — and turning into Parlor out of vanity.

What he doesn’t get — or may be he does — is that the friendlier he makes Twitter to the far right the more he will erode whatever cultural relevance the platform has.

The Great Barrington Declaration was never censored. Younes, who works for a Koch-funded litigation group (Koch groups have spent the pandemic fighting against public health) is trying to paint valid criticism of an unscientific document as censorship.

Official Trump White House policy mirrored the recommendations of the declaration and its authors were treated like VIPs.

The goal here is to harass and silence criticisms of right wing pseudoscience to force parity with scientific consensus.

Coincidence? Maybe. But there is a link between COVID and blood clots. You should get still get vaccinated and wear a high-quality mask.

Worth keeping in mind

Remote school wasn’t the big driver of learning loss.

Immunity debt isn’t a thing.

“Lockdowns” didn’t cause a suicide wave.

Masks didn’t harm kids.

Wonder what they’ll come up with next to justify mass infection, debilitation, and death for the sake of not disrupting big business.

There are no free speech absolutists
