Today, Twitter suspended It's Going Down (@igd_news), a longtime anarchist and anti-fascist news source that had never previously run afoul of the Twitter rules. At the time of their suspension, they had 108,000 followers.

Elon Musk was lying through his teeth when he said he believes in free speech. He bought Twitter in order to suppress the voices of those who seek an egalitarian society. Since taking over the platform, he has reinstated avowed neo-Nazis and taken guidance from those who explicitly support fascism as he targets journalists and activists.

Canary in the Coal Mine: Twitter and the End of Social Media

Is there life after social media? Will reactionary billionaires determine all we can imagine and do, or will we establish other forms of connection?

With the purchase of Twitter, Musk wanted to promote "free speech". Actually, he meant hate speech as the world can see now. 44 Bi $ (his money alone?) to promote hate speech all over the planet! My gut feeling tells me that Musk is only the frontman whose job it is to functionalize Twitter as tool for the objectives of a global fascist coalition: Trump, Thiel, Bannon, Putin, Orban, Bolsonaro, Le Pen, Khomenei, Kim, Xi, Reichsbürger, and many fascist groups out there!
