"SM cos. have taken action to roll back restrictions on misinfo., disinfo., &/or hate speech -a “Twitter effect” -other platforms are using it as cover to stop. Musk: reinstated the accounts of numerous extremists, incl. with ties to organized hate groups & violence. TW: rolled back its misinfo. policies, & just lost its head of Trust & Safety enforcing these policies. YouTube: rolling back its election misinfo. policies, & will now allow false statements about the 2020 election"🚨@rvawonk agrees
