Did they really classify Twitter as an "organised crime group"? Because that does seem a bit farfetched.

Translation help from Fascist English to US English:
- "activist" = a non-politician whose free speech we don't like
- "allow all voices to be heard" / "free speech" = extremist/unconstitutional/propaganda speech which serves the interests of the current fascist regime must be allowed, while every other speech will be labelled as being activist/communist/un-American/...
- "defend [...] all Americans" = at least the part of Americans which we tolerate or haven't jailed yet (subject to change)

Is this the same United States that’s investigating people for having unflattering memes of the vice president on their phone?
Tell us more about the importance of free speech.

You have to believe that the French government have evaluated in the same week the risk of recognising Palestine and condemning a US company against how vindictive the US government are right now. Hopefully they stick to their guns on both.
From my experience living in the US, the country is not a good reference point for any discussions around the nature of free speech.
Free speech polemics in the US largely have a demonstrative role with individuals parroting random copytext that they've heard before in an attempt to position themselves as being special and independent.
In a way, the whole thing is very entertaining.
There is that.
American democrats, though, irritated me more until I've started noticing Republicans. They have that "parties switched in 1960s" myth (only parties' ideas on race switched, while the main ideology of the democratic party is not too different from "progressives" of 1890s, those guys who advocated for prophylactic lynchings ; and it's the same about Republicans, whose "anti-racist" ideas were just as Christian fundamentalism based as their today's projects), and also the "popular party" myth (while even in appearances being something to the top of which only people born with a silver spoon in mouth can get).
At the same time the "free speech" stuff over there seems to mostly be about "they in their totalitarian countries (or pockets of society dominated by the other party) are lied by their propaganda media, and we here are free and are told the truth".
Not sure it's entertaining, it looks depressing. But I haven't lived in the US.
Every state or social group has its shibboleths - the American one is just to performatively pretend they don't have any.
Definitely. There is a lot of good things about the US, lots to see, different types of experiences, nice nature. But that doesn't mean I have to agree with polemics that make no sense.
Okay, now defend us from the foreign censorship that Israeli lobbyists baked into our state constitutions. https://www.newsweek.com/pro-palestinian-protest-states-colleges-illegal-bds-1895292
Requesting information isn't limiting free speech is it? Now if that algorithm shows it is indeed limiting or promoting people's speech in a non-equal manner, that would be limiting people's free speech would it not?

Just call it Twitter. He's been trying to make "fetch" happen since the 90s. We get it, rich boy, you have a single-character .com domain. I'm still sending money over PayPal, because that's what it's fucking called.
PayPal? The platform that can freeze your account and keep your money for whatever reason and amount of time they like? I don't know...

Idiots.
Not even regular idiots, hypocritical idiots.
us should realise the world doesn't revolve around them and nobody respects them.
large backlog in north korea, russia, and china. Better get that military up to snuff.
He's not American, he's a super racist south african with Canadian citizenship.
He's been an American for 23 years.
In America. Not the same thing. He's been an illegal alien the whole time.
His citizenship hasn't been revoked. That's like saying Trump should be in jail. Sure, but where does he sleep at night?
Difference is Trump WAS going to jail. He just decided he wouldnt. Hope the next president just get away with him forever, if Trump survives his term (because of age)
