Framing authority George Lakoff @georgelakoff yesterday quoted the brilliant Eric Blair's @protecttruth article:

Twitter is being used by a billionaire to shift public opinion. Time to go elsewhere >>> https://deepnarrative.substack.com/p/twitter-is-being-used-by-a-billionaire

"Twitter is now a danger to American democracy. The only effective solution now is to move to new platforms. There are other social media platforms... we can build them up to support honest debate and provide some replacements to Twitter."

When your opponent controls the playing field, you will always lose that fight. Let's democratize our media.

@georgelakoff @protecttruth Right now dozens of reporters are still banned from Twitter. They are examples of what happens to you when you refuse to toe the line. Musk is using the threat of the ban hammer to extort censorship. This is the authoritarian playbook. Those who stay on Twitter, just happy they are not targets, tempering their commentary so as to conform and stay safe, are not brave. They are simply hanging their brethren out to dry and empowering the despot.

Interestingly the latest move on Twitter, to remove 2 factor authentication, is now making us and many other businesses to question our presence on Twitter even more. The move by Twitter it could conflict with our GDPR policy, and for many in the media, it's already conflicting with our online safety policies in general. It is also interesting to see this 'cost saving move' has happened as it could see #Twitter being hit hard by regularity bodies.
