 |  Musk censored posts to help the Turkish government get re-elected Censorship is fine so long as I am doing it Supreme Twit Elon [look at me] Musk has been accused of being rather selective regarding free speech and is allowing Turkish ruler Recep Tayyip Erdoğan to censor his rivals before crucial elections. Over the weekend, Twitter restricted access to some tweets in Turkey at the request of the Turkish government ahead of its next presidential election. The tweets were critical of the authoritarian president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. Erdoğan needs all the help he could get, as his economy is in tatters, propped by Russian money and a gigantic earthquake showed the corruption in his system. In fact, it looked like he might lose the election. Musk obligingly abandoned his free speech principles to comply with the Turkish government order that users who criticised Erdoğan would not be allowed to post over the weekend. https://fudzilla.com/news/56896-musk...get-re-elected |
