Censorship

Are you really doubling down on portraying the would-be assassin as a Democrat?

 No, just pointing out to the poster that both things can be true.  A registered Republican who’s money goes to Democrat causes.

Or are you going to delete all your posts blaming the violent partisan rhetoric?

Don’t plan on it.  This is a strange request considering you haven’t asked others who have recently been posting actual false information and deleted tweets. 

 
So, the blue check mark people on X that get banned or kicked off.  Do they just join again with a new email and start over or what is the deal?

Does it show their followers that they have been banned?

Now he's just blatantly banning anyone associated with the left.

Musk is wrong for this. Free speech especially includes ideologies and things you do not like for the greater good as the shoe could be on the other foot depending on the moderator. Both the idea and need of free speech and challenging widespread thought does not come from widely agreed and accepted viewpoints.

Google got hit with filtering searches on Trump assassination attempt and Facebook now admits an error for this picture. I am hoping it won't be as bad as 2020 was.

It's going to be way worse on both sides on all social media apps. AI is so much more advanced than it was in 2020 and the ability to use it for disinformation is pretty powerful at this point. It's not going to get any better I can tell you that much. Even the most discerning people can be fooled it is not easy to parse the real from the fake. It freakin sucks for everybody

fwiw....that excuse does sound plausible.   but i am not a tech bro and it might be easier to sort that stuff than i think it is.   

 
Saw this on Yahoo.   I don’t know the X rules on this sorts thing but The Wrap doesn’t seem like a right leaning or Elon Musk friendly publication so they may know what they are talking about here.  
 

https://www.yahoo.com/news/white-dudes-harris-x-account-044441002.html

Update: As of Tuesday morning, the account has been reinstated and the user behind @whitedudesforharris — a separate account — clarified online that he created the other account to prevent bad actors from taking it. The dual accounts are the likely culprit for why @whitedudes4harris was suspended in the first place, but X has still not responded to TheWrap’s request for comment.

But one of us is using an overheated tweet from some guy named Robbie Starbuck to defend himself. 

Not sure how you can post that without ignoring those statements.

One of us is using words from a United States Government official under oath.   
 

One of us is not!   I will let you decide who is who.
