This is what happens when you get extremists exerting control over any platform that requires institutional protection. Elon Musk has most certainly caused damage. Spin up a new Twitter account and within minutes you will have scrolled past multiple posts promoting or depicting violence against a wide range of groups. I literally saw the corpses of children hanging in a hut before I signed off forever.

I have this same beef with crackpot conspiracy theories. Promote enough lizards-in-whitehouse stories and all of a sudden someone telling us the literal, verifiable truth that Pfizer engineered untold chaos and misery to make a profit he gets dismissed as a crackpot before people in the general public will listen.

Likewise, when a billionaire crybaby invades an institutional free-speech platform as an undemocratically elected king crying wolf anytime he is rightfully reprimanded for not moderating incitement (which is unequivocally illegal, for good reason), the general public is further nudged toward assuming that all the platform is used for.

Thus, when events like this occur, the reasonable thinkers trying to voice reason are drowned out by the very people on these platforms — induced-ADHD who can't think for more than 10 seconds before chewing on another soundbite to repeat so they can get their likes and repeat.

Is free speech being suppressed via Twitter through the BR gov't? Yes. Did Elon Musk lift the guard rails for incitement? Yes. Both are true and both are an absolute disgrace to the society many of us were born into.
