@ 2023/08/08Perhaps Musk is just an absolutist
Elon [look at me] Musk, who claims to be a free speech absolutist has sued a civil liberties group who disagreed with what he was doing with Twitter er X.
The Centre for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) researches online hate and disinformation, and works to hold social media companies accountable for the erosion of human rights and civil liberties.
CCDH Organiser Imran Ahmed said his organisation is standing up to the tech billionaires whose social media platforms are full of hate and lies. Unfortunately, that seemed to get Musk a little cross.
Ahmed said “It started with childish name-calling on Twitter two weeks ago, when Elon Musk called my organisation “evil” and me personally a “rat”. “
