In a Twitter space hosted by Oz Katerji, a British-Lebanese reporter based in Ukraine and NAFO ally.

3 speakers show the effects of Musk's idiocy.

- A rescuer said Twitter communication saved 1000s of lives from natural disasters. The new limits render it useless.

- An Afghan said the Taliban bought masses of blue-check accounts, where they celebrate suicide bombings around the world.

- A Nigerian journalist can no longer use Twitter to bypass state censorship.

For Musk, it's just a game.

@alcaldood I was listening. The Nigerian was David Hundeyin, and one of his anecdotes was how he'd discovered the then President elect had marked on his campaign form that he didn't have another citizenship. But Hundeyin discovered that he did in fact have another passport and was a dual citizen. This is important because that's illegal there.

So Hundeyin published this on Twitter. The tweet had millions of views. But Twitter suspended him for posting private info.

@ParanoidFactoid Thanks for posting the full story. The way Musk helps authoritarian regimes is just disgusting.

@alcaldood @ParanoidFactoid It is. And I worry for political prisonners in Belarus. The cpartisans and other activists there.
Especially when you have a very useless Special Rapporteur for Belarus at Useless Nations
