Erdogan regime tells Twitter to censor tweets in Turkey (almost certainly those opposing his reelection). Musk says "Hell yes!"

This comports with Twitter's new policy (since Musk took over) to say "Hell yes" to all censorship request from governments.

Mr. "Free Speech" indeed...

@dangillmor It should be noted that after Musk’s first pushback on Free Speech Absolutism he said he’d obey laws stifling speech. And…done. That’s the whole game. Protecting speech is ONLY about preventing governments from stifling speech, but if people stifle speech that’s also free speech.

But Musk has it backwards so governments can stifle speech but people can’t. And he really just thinks speech he agrees with is always protected, which he states in the form of a principle.

@biobrain @dangillmor Ah, yes, Free Speech for Me, not for thee
@dangillmor His "only what's legal" excuse tells us everything we need to know about his plans for US and other western countries.
@dangillmor He is controlled opposition. He was never for the people. So glad there is a way around it with mastadon.

@dangillmor

free speech to whoever pays or shares the same opinion...

🤦

@dangillmor is there a charge for this kind of “service”?

@dangillmor That's HIS Free Speech that he cares about. He's not some pinko that cares about what rights OTHER people have.

Case in point, the first thing that he did at Twitter was stop moderators from moderating his tweets and even push them into everybody's timeline.

@dangillmor Elmo Muskrat is a POS megalomaniac narcissist! That's it
