When government turns on its own people. We have fully arrived.
Not Twitter, but Twitter exposing it's dark secrets is leading to people snooping around elsewhere. Isn't this interesting?
Huge read on how the DHS works with private organizations to censor Americans...again, scary as **** and most of us just say "eh, **** happens" and let it slide. We are watching our freedoms being taken away and doing nothing about it. Death by a thousand cuts.

Every single "repeat spreader of election misinformation" cited in the EIP’s report was aligned with the political right:

Elon could buy Substack. Very interesting and could upset traditional journalism and help bring down or keep MSM in check.
Elon Musk has criticized mainstream media outlets over their coverage of the so-called “Twitter Files.”
“Why is corporate journalism rushing to defend the state instead of the people?” Musk wrote on Twitter on Dec. 27, in response to a tweet from journalist and documentary filmmaker Leighton Woodhouse. The latter was sharing his new Substack post about how corporate media rushed to defend the FBI and the state instead of exposing them...
A Twitter user responded to Musk’s question by writing, “Simple… it’s Corporate Journalism… Not Journalism.”
To which Musk replied: “Exactly. Why would anyone trust corpo journalism?”
The latter wrote, “Twitter plus Substack creates instantly massive competition for obsolete legacy corporate media.”
Substack allows independent writers and podcasters to publish directly to their audiences and get paid through subscriptions, the platform’s website says.
Tuesday was not the first time that Musk has expressed an interest in buying Substack.
On Dec. 8, conservative commentator Dave Rubin started a thread by alleging that Google and YouTube’s “manipulation for political purposes is FAR worse than Twitter’s.”
A Twitter user continued the thread and recommended Musk buy Substack.
The Twitter user wrote: “You would have the information layer with Twitter and the narrative layer. Corporate media would then have [to] specialize on reporting government leaks, from ‘people familiar with the matter.'”
“I’m open to the idea,” Musk wrote in response to the recommendation.

Substack
In the same thread, Musk also said that he was “open to the idea” of buying the Substack platform, while responding to a tweet from Wall Street Silver.The latter wrote, “Twitter plus Substack creates instantly massive competition for obsolete legacy corporate media.”
Substack allows independent writers and podcasters to publish directly to their audiences and get paid through subscriptions, the platform’s website says.

Problem with news reporting being wide open is that while you may not have censorship you don't have editing either and verifying information, sources, and methods. However the problem with editing, as we see, is that the editors for the most part are biased too.
People will seek out news sources that already agree with their world view and politics and we become increasing isolated in our own bubbles and everyone is preaching to their own choir. In a lot of ways we're already there.
Maybe I have 10,000 followers on Twitter and I report that "Tim Steelersfan is really an undercover Communist infiltrator and not the Conservative he pretends to be." If I don't have to run that through anyone and prove it, then 10,000 people believe that Tim is a Commie.
Oh wait, the Dems and their willing accomplices in the media already did that with Trump.
Tremendous piece on James Baker and the FBI and spy agencies' control over our social media.
Twitter Files #14 is fascinating. Matt goes into detail on how Congresspeople and the media essentially CREATED the idea that Russian Bots were behind disinformation. They made it up. And used it to change and squelch news. Duped the entire American public. Twitter was asked and proved Russian bots WERE NOT driving this tweeting. A complete fabrication by politicians AND the media jointly intended to deceive us all.

Sure, leftist, anti-free speech, anti-freedom, democrat loving businesses can do no wrong, apparently pro free speech, pro-freedom is evil.
