We, outside the US, are do much in love with America the Nation. America the Empire, not so much!

Free speech is a hallmark of America the Nation.

What we really need is mass class-action lawsuits.

Those gov officials and tech companies who conspired to take away 1A rights from innocent people need to be sued in massive class-action suits. Their ill-gotten gains need to be transferred to the victims.

Perhaps there is another ways!
Individual suits by the millions on each company.
They would have to defend each and every one. This is a very expensive proposition for the companies, especially if they are all done pro se.

absolutely

In addition, The process is the punishment

Just read the full plan, and allowing any user to opt out of any algorithms seems like something his Bestie Billionaire Friend wouldn't like much.

reply

Why would he dislike users opting out of algorithms?

reply

Musk completely shifted Twitter away from even allowing people to read without algorithms. The current model emphasizes ads, paid users, and Musk himself above other content.

reply

On X there are 2 sections For you and Following.

Following is the feed for people you follow.

"For you" is algorithmic, you see people you don't currently follow.

Do you currently use X?

reply

I killed my X account over a year ago when it became unusable, and haven't looked back; if it's allowing the "following" feed to actually go in chronological order, that's an improvement.

reply

If you no longer use X, how do you know the current model emphasizes Musk above other content?

reply

I don’t use that nonsense anymore either

reply

The glory days of Twitter before Musk, democracy dies in darkness

reply

True! I really miss Twitter (now fking X). Btw, there are few new features like Community notes, and paying creators etc.. others like people can view your posts even after you block them and small accounts if they are not paying are literally being killed :(

I deactivated my account few months and never going back again!

The full plan you link above is dated December 2022

But on his campaign sight with his video announcement, so I assume it's still current.
