And based on what's happened the past 48 hours on Twitter... think forward

Imagine - say - Washington Post revealed abuse of workers at a Tesla plant in Shanghai

What would happen?

Would it be dealt with fairly? Now I really doubt it. The reporter(s) would get blocked, and links to the story flagged.

Twitter is no longer a reliable and predictable place for news and the first take on the news.

@jon Absolutely, Musk revealed he will block the integrity of the Fourth Estate + democracy if it hampers his businesses.

Twitter today - created another "rule" banning tweets/profiles that link to other social media sites, i.g. Mastodon, Post, FB & IG, however, interestingly Musk will not ban links to China's, Tik Tok (Xi's dictatorship is happy)
