I added a NOTE about Musk’s nonsense justification.
If the lessons of COVID-19 have taught us anything, it should be that each step the totalitarian dictatorships take -under the guise of protecting new democratic norms- must be viewed through the prism of future targeting.
We should pay attention, lest we find ourselves on the alternate side of populist uprisings under state targeting.
I sent the prior warning message around the collaboration between private industry and western government surrounding financial restrictions placed on Russia. When VISA, Mastercard and other payment mechanisms willingly and willfully supported the intentions of the Western Government coalition, few people thought about the Rubicon this new merge and partnership was establishing. {SEE HERE} In essence, private industry determining the lifestyle of Russian citizens in an effort to target their political leadership. Few people were paying attention, fewer still think long term.
With France now pledging to shut down internet communication in an effort to control organizing through social media, there is a bigger picture that must be considered.
[SOURCE – Translated from French]
Let me take you back to 2010 and 2011 when the U.S. State Department, Hillary Clinton, Samantha Power, Susan Rice, CIA Director Leon Panetta and French President Nicholas Sarkozy wanted to support the Islamist Spring uprisings in Tunis, Libya, Egypt and Yemen.
What happened then is very much related to what we are seeing right now in Europe, specifically France; only this time we are seeing the inverse of the government interests regarding social media on display.
The bad dictators were targeted for removal following the now famous Barack Obama Cairo, Egypt speech. President Barack Obama triggered the removal of the Zookeepers and released the big cats to become apex predators; the downstream consequences eventually showed up with ISIS burning people in cages.
When the leaders of Tunis, Egypt, Libya, Yemen, Bahrain, Sudan and a multitude of other unapproved dictatorships, reacted to the collective effort of the CIA and U.S. state Dept by shutting down cell phone communication, the CIA and DoS responded by enlisting Twitter and Facebook as the messaging platforms for the rebels in each country.
Twitter became the main conduit through which the people on the ground could organize against their regimes. This was the initial merge of the U.S. government using social media to effect political change. [Side Note: this is the atom splitting moment which eventually led to the government’s ability to control, filter and ultimately censor U.S. social media content.]
Twitter, and to a lesser extent Facebook, served the interests of western government by helping the people on the ground to organize protests, violent uprisings, against the dictators in the Arab Spring. As we eventually saw in Libya and Egypt, the Muslim Brotherhood (Egypt, AQIM) and al-Qaeda (Libya, AQAP) were supported by the State Dept/CIA during that effort.
The key takeaway is: the uprisings were supported by the western governments, and the social media platforms served the interests of the western government leadership.
Now fast forward to today…
We have the inverse issue for the interests of western government, specifically France and broad parts of the EU as well as the United States.
General uprisings, riots and assorted mayhem created by mostly Islamic immigrants and the subsequent cultural clash, are against the interests of France and the EU. The ability of the cultural insurgents to organize on social media is now against the interests of western government. How are they reacting? They are shutting down the utility of the platforms and shutting down the internet.
The initial takeaway from this might be perceived as good. The rioters are creating social unrest, looting, arson and crisis; they must be stopped and controlled. It seems like the government action will be a good thing.
However, as with the example of private corporations joining in alignment with WEF government to target Russia, what do you think will happen when a populist revolt of yellow vests, or anti-vaxxers, or freedom rebels take to the streets? Precedents are being set.
You might cheer France using control over communication to target the violent brown people now; but what happens when those same EU entities decide to target the communication of a different type of uprising. This is me, sending warning flares to those who might not care about this ‘beta-test’.
Oh, and don’t forget the Senate Intelligence Committee recent effort with the “Restrict Act“, total internet and domestic social media control pushed under the auspices of controlling TikTok data collection.
♦ Let me also point out that it does not seem in the least bit coincidental these French uprisings happen at the same time that Elon Musk and Twitter start limiting the ability of users to engage with the social media platform.
Musk claims that changing and restricting user access is all part of some necessary plan to stop scrapers from scouring the data of Twitter users and creating an AI system for censorship and control.
That’s nonsense.
Scraping and Spider Crawling happen on just about every site and platform where public comments take place. Reddit and YouTube comment systems are one example. Truth Social is another example.
Google AI has been scraping content from the entire internet for years. It is silly to say that a new censorship system using AI to scrape user information is a valid reason to shut down user engagement with the platform.
NOTE: Have you ever encountered a “Captcha Challenge”? ie. check all images with mountains, trains, cars, crosswalks, etc. If Musk was concerned about bot or AI scraping, he could insert a captcha challenge every 500 post reads (or pick number). What he’s doing has nothing to do with trying to stop AI scraping or defending free speech; it’s the opposite.
When it comes to censorship, Elon Musk would have you believe he is not in control. Again, nonsense. As if there is some higher power over him telling Twitter they must remove or censor content. Please stop and think about it… it’s silly.
All censorship starts with the actuated decision of the platform to allow or remove the content. Despite Musk claiming there is some entity, some omnipotent system that can force him to censor Twitter content, there is not.
Scrape away, create the AI censorship parameters (which already exist via Google) and even then, if Elon Musk does not want to censor content he doesn’t censor content. These are his decisions.
Keep this next part in mind. Twitter and various social media platforms, but specifically Twitter, are at much heavier levels of user engagement outside the United States. It makes sense because in oppressive regimes where information from state-controlled media is tightly restricted, social media plays a larger role in the transmission and absorption of unfiltered information.
The level of user engagement, likes, retweets etc. is much higher for Twitter users outside the United States. Those users are also far less likely to pay for the service.
When Elon Musk is limiting the ability of non-paid users to engage in his platform (view information), he is essentially assisting dictators in oppressive nations by limiting access to information and the sharing of it.
Twitter’s current rules on user engagement restrict non-USA users at a much more significant level. As a result, Twitter’s rules are limiting information on a global scale. Elon Musk is well aware of this; he is not stupid. The decisions by Twitter, restrict information and help the oppressors.
On Friday June 16th Elon Musk met with French President Emmanuel Macron. [France Erupts] On Thursday June 29th Musk limits Twitter access.
When your world of enterprise is financially enmeshed with government to pay for it, you end up doing what those government offices tell you to do.
Is the timing of the Twitter decision related to geopolitical events like France? You decide. However, for me personally, and knowing the true operations of Twitter as a public opinion control platform (see Twitter files), I am fairly confident there is a connection of interest.
Is Elon Musk running a Twitter version of the RESTRICT ACT … again, where user data must be protected. 👀

The internet was invented and subsidized by the U.S. government. They made a big show of pretending to turn it over to the people and, sure enough, the people built it out: ‘waaaaay out–beyond anybody’s wildest dreams. Now the ‘webs are a source of endless fascination and entertainment. But at bottom, it’s all a government operation. Edward Snowden said, straight up, “Facebook and twitter are surveillance tools.” Maybe Zuckerberg dreamed up the facebook algos. Maybe not. Either way, he rides FEDGOV’s backbone. So does everything and everybody else on the world wide web. Even Tim Berners-Lee would admit that his genius fix for making easily accessed web pages would have been meaningless without the initial work done by the autists @ DARPA. It is what it is…
Yep, well put.
Macron Fiddled, While France Burned
ROBERT W MALONE MD, MS
JUL 3, 2023
https://rwmalonemd.substack.com/p/macron-fiddled-while-france-burned
I’ve contended Musk is a CIA cutout. You can’t consider all his subsidiary companies, their leading edge technologies and all that funding without questioning WHO’s behind him? I would not be surprised at all to learn DARPA was behind it all…Just like Bezos and Blue Horizon along with Nautilus Biotechnology, his cloud computing that has only one contract – CIA and all those startups he’s “funding” Mindstrong Health, Mark43, Fundbox, Plenty, EverFi and Grail… Also don’t overlook Bezo’s new venture Project Kuiper, which would put 3,236 satellites into orbit to provide high-speed internet to any point on the globe. I can’t figure out if he’s competing with Musk or merely taking over…
Musk functions outside of the part of this that’s common knowledge.
Is he a ‘good’ guy?
I doubt it.
Maybe though.
Maybe though. I tend to give him the benefit of the doubt so far. But Sundance has a way of assembling little pieces of information into something significant that no one saw coming. Read it all. Don’t reject it. Keep an open mind. At some point soon, we’re going to know one way or the other
Yes, Musk is an asset, whatever the optics. It was suggested on this site he was/is. Twitter going to him is more evidence he is a willing participant.
You’re also assuming that there is one Bad Guy in this fight.
What if the fight is between Bad Group A and Bad Group B, with Bad Group A the crazy evil Left, Marxist to the core, and Bad Group B merely being greedy capitalists seeking total globalist control. (There is of course, us, the Good Guys.)
Don’t think of this global struggle as a contest between two players, but rather three, and it will make sense.
Agree, all these sophisticated tools were invented in a garage; right. DARPA and taxpayer money.
The captcha challenge suggestion as a replacement for Twitter throttling would be plausible if not for there being specialized companies in India and such with warehouses full of people solving captcha’s for automation.
As soon as a bot is presented a captcha it is solved by some low wage drone, after which the automation can continue.
Captcha’s do not prevent automation for the serious digital players.
Also data mining twitter for AI purposes and using twitter for “riot communication” should not be conflated.
Pulling the entirety of Twitter database is not regular use and this puts undue strain and cost on Twitter infrastructure. So it is entirely reasonable from IT / cost perspective for Musk to be taking this measures.

I tend to agree with this. Captcha or not, I’m having trouble understanding why limiting reads isn’t a good idea to stop scraping. Please someone correct me if I’m wrong. In addition to the continuous drain on system resources from AI programs that are reading “everything”, these programs also are being used to identify “trends” that censors want to throttle. They also can be used to launch bot responses.
I have no idea whether or to what important extent the percentage of paid users differs from place to place, or whether the percentage of paid users even is all that significant.
Finally, how many ordinary people — especially those who are not in the business of writing articles or for other reasons gathering twitter twats and so also can’t be bothered to get a paid account — have the time or inclination to be reading hundreds or thousands of tweets in the first place. Really? REALLY?
.
I was kicked off years ago so no problem. Unplugging is best.
I’ve never had a social media account but can report that Twitter has been a useful tool for peer to peer and peer to/from institution during natural disasters or other emergencies. It was a valuable resource during the recent wildfire disasters in California and Oregon, getting the word out from emergency services and also between civilians with on the ground reports in real time.
I guess those of us who don’t actively participate in social media will move to other platforms or away from the internet entirely. Will shortwave for the masses make a comeback? IDK. I remember Radio Free Europe during the Communist decades. Kept me in the shortwave game.
Jeff Childers explains the twitter situation
https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/limitations-monday-july-3-2023-c
Interesting link. A good read for perspective. There are layers, and then THERE ARE LAYERS.
Seems to be at odds with Sundance’s position.
Seems to be. I think Childers (and Mark Wauck, and Zero Hedge) are correct about this.
Childers has come out for
DeSantis. I take what he says with a grain of salt.
.
Yes.
.
Highly recommend this link and the site. Mr. Childers is spot-on.
If this is the IC pulling this stunt, it must be held accountable. Firings, prison sentences, loss of 100% of budget.
To understand who is in charge of governmental plans and response, we must look to the past. The “zest India Company shaped and affected the doings of the British Empire.
Today’s magnates see things through a globalist prism. Europe, Asia, Africa, the Americas… Theatre all the same to them. These are fields of opportunity in which to effect plunder.
With the knowledge available, do you doubt that a campaign could be mounted to persuade foreigners to return to their Nations of origin?
Instead, we are bombarded with the parents of assimilation and acceptance… And if you don’t, you’re a racist white supremacist… Very little if anything at all happens accidentally. The Masters of the Universe truly believe they own everything and everyone. It is the underlying ideology of the great reset.
Here in Greater Vancouver British Columbia we have a large Sikh population ( Punjab Region of India) for anyone not too familiar with the religion.
Just ten miles or so from us a prominent Sikh leader was assassinated earlier this year.
I believe he was behind a group of Sikhs that were pushing for their native country within India.
I am friendly with several Sikhs in our community. The culture is not so different from the one I grew up in.
Family, faith, hard work and. “own dirt”
The one difference is that they have no trust in government. None!
Forty years ago when I first got to know them I disagreed with the concept.
Not now. Evil 100% evil..
Cheers, and God bless President Trump.
My holistic Doc is a Sikh; I would be dead or close to it without him.
Very skilled at Eastern & Western medicine.
Small world.
So is my Chiropractor.
He is in his thirties and unbeknownst to me until after a couple of visits had played soccer in the same league as our younger son.
Cheers!
I see HAM, Citizen’s Band and RF alternatives re-emerging to overcome this
Nellie-O here on HAM radiO, bringing you the best in disinformation from Moscow to DC.
🤣
Our friend McGregor:
https://www.youtube.com/live/o92oSgU17Lo?feature=share
Start at 1h51m. Shocking.
I went Ham radio years ago, small solar panel, hefty LiFePo4 battery, set up with WINLINK (and now also stocking up on ammo)…
Anyone dissing Ham radio because of Nellie is clueless.
HAM radio is often a topic on every survivalist blog site.
CB is short range and no tests. HAM radio is long range (across oceans/around world) and requires tests and other regulatory requirements. Nellie Ohr has nothing to “worry” about getting her license. MAGA associated folks with social media footprints would probably be refused as an enemy. You can of course listen to long range as I have often done. Of course thousands of channels so would be practically impossible to listen in on their plans.
There’s no refusal. You take a test. If you pass you get a license. End of story.
Nellie is a Tech License, limited to 50Mhz and above. Not so easy going long distances. For distance, 14Mhz and 21Mhz are prime. At 28Mhz and above, skip is iffy. At 144Mhz it’s almost nil unless you Moon bounce! Repeaters expands the local a little bit.
I’ve heard that the govt monitors Ham radio also. Last time I listened in, it was fowl BS going on like cb and the truckers used to be. It killed cb radio.
This treeper here is close to taking his ham tech license.
People have given me stupid looks when I have mentioned it.
Keep at it oldjunkfixer – I had my ticket at 12 y/o, and then guitars, cars, and girls got in the way – I’m back KI7YTP poking around on upper HF bands…
I hear you!
Schooled by ARRL, Amateur Radio Operators License at 14in the ’60’s.

A ’66 Mustang convertible and cute girls were more interesting than rag chew with OMs and I let it laps more than half a century ago.
Don’t new to key nowadays perhaps I ought retrieve my old calls sign.
Reading your post reminded me of a somewhat somber, but poignant, use of amateur radio during a movie called ‘Testament’ about a nuclear attack and an old man operating his radio station until he died from the fallout, then a neighbor kid taking over and CQ’ing with his callsign. Man, that was a tough movie to watch.
Anyway, ARRL, man that’s a trip down memory lane. Hyman, Almy, and Murray, the original ‘HAM’. Cool times. I never got licensed to transmit but had quite a listening station in the 60’s. Only broadcasting I did was on the AM band, low power, just to annoy the neighbors with my radio shows. Kids 😀

My dad stormed into the house home from work in 1964 and wated to know WTH my voice was doing drowning out WHIO on his car radio and we were all going to heck because of my illeagal broad casting. LOL Good times!
We’ve got a pair of $100 hand held walkie talkies for just in case
Learn Code at 13-20 wpm and get your General or Advanced License, The lower frequencies get you skip more often than not. Only bummer was when the sun spot activity changed! That’s an 11 year cycle!
The Technical aspect was the same as a General class, but only required 5 wpm (same as Novice).
So all this data regarding what it’s up to, what it seems to be plotting and scheming is much appreciated.
Now ai pray 🙏 my hopefully brothers, and sisters here don’t attack me…
How could all this be possible? How is it that one man is able to function within this literally satanic matrix?
I consider myself blessed. It’s how I stay functional.
Believe in God.
Trust God.
I would never claim any capacity to ever accomplish what the child of God Donald Trump has participated in.
And maybe that’s why sometimes I sense he, trump won’t be allowed to fulfill the expectations we have of him.
Just has been nagging at me.
I keep hearing Bob Seger’s Night Moves in my head.
I can tolerate a lot of things. But… no internet access? No.
Working on those night moves.
internet censorship may be an impossible dream for the overlords once technological advances like qortal are adopted
wish i could elucidate further, but just recently learning of the anti-censorship capabilities of this game changing technology myself
seems the qortal system is fully capable of thwarting any and all attempts at censorship and is unstoppable, save for collapsing the entirety of the grid
for better or worse, true internet freedom may be closer than many realize
“When Elon Musk is limiting the ability of non-paid users to engage in his platform (view information), he is essentially assisting dictators in oppressive nations by limiting access to information and the sharing of it.”
Absolutely this, Sundance.
Without knowing everything you know concerning what’s going on, it wasn’t hard to see Twitter was limiting access to data just reading through the comments here at the Treehouse in the last few days.
Someone includes a link to a tweet (something that up until a few days ago those of us who refuse to use social media could still access) and all of a sudden none of those links work for us trolls.
Elon definitely does not want everyone to see what’s going on. . .
Really? Rioters are reading many hundreds of thousands of tweets daily? How do they find the time to riot? Or eat? Or sleep?
One doesn’t need a paid account, just an account, to read what you want. Want more? Open a second unpaid account.
The throttling is not stopping riots. Shutting down the internet is for that, but there were riots and revolts long before an internet came along. The French rioters specialize in stone age technologies.
I’m just talking about me and people like me.
I’ve never had and never will have a social media account.
Up until a few days ago I could see and read a lot of information off of other’s links here, then one day that option was no longer available.
I could no longer read anything concerning the original link, I could only read that single page. I apparently became a debit to Twitter.
Why?
Elon said so.
Macron won’t do anything to stop the violence, but he wants to stop people from talking about it. Suspicious Cat? What do you think?
?resize=600%2C467
“Macron won’t do anything to stop the violence, but he wants to stop people from talking about it.” That’s a concise and chilling observation. This is his Justin Castro moment for sure. I sure hope French history repeats itself.
Yes, the imported but unassimilated residents are specifically there to execute this plan we see now. The idea Macron wants to stop the riots makes no sense.
It’s worse. The people of France who are fighting back against these invaders are being targeted by the French government forces. How dare the free people of France try to defend themselves and their country.
Anyone intending to use the interwebs for comms in an emergency is a fool. We all know that “they” will be taking them offline as a first step. Local comms will be the key. And more importantly comms that are non electronics based. The First Amendment means nothing to them when it comes to the digital space. Prove me wrong.
.
Aw c’mon please. Anyone who is so addicted to Twitter that he feels the need to read thousands of tweets every day would pay a few bucks a month for this time-consuming hobby.
(Meanwhile, do you really have to read hundreds of mostly repetitive at best or idjit or bot at worst “replies” to important tweets?)
Additionally, individual tweets remain able to be shared and viewed, including their videos, on websites and comment boards merely by posting the correct URL to the original tweet (not the URL to a retweet or reply tweet).
.
Elon is trying to get….
that Jack’s Magic Coffee Shop funding back….and make twatter financially sound.
I’m still mystified by how many people still think Musk is some freedom of speech advocate. On some other sites, I get attacked if I so much as question Musk’s motives; let alone call him what I think he is – a WEF pawn at the least. I said when he bought the platform: DO NOT TRUST HIM. He is not your friend, nor is he working for the same things you are.
Regardless of the outcome of these riots, sooner or later islam WILL take over France, and most of the rest of Europe by out breeding the host countries non islamic citizens. Just look at the most common baby name in each European country.

No. If they’re permitted to, the globalists will take over France. If people don’t see the BLM template in all of this, they’re not looking. The Davos game plan is always divide and conquest. Here, you pit French nationalists against immigrants and voila, you have an excuse to crack down with some kind of martial law and put everyone into a CBDC cage. Commies always do that. Start a crisis and then come in as the savior and restorer of order.

Raymond Ibrahim has much to say about that “faith”.
You forgot Ireland. Mohamed is #1 and they only included one of the many spellings.
“When Elon Musk is limiting the ability of non-paid users to engage in his platform (view information), he is essentially assisting dictators in oppressive nations by limiting access to information and the sharing of it.”
He’s also restricting us (non-paid users) from seeing valued tweets like CTH and so on. This hurts both sides. If I stupidly signed up on Twitter, I would be surprised if the site exceeded 10 followers or viewers after a year.
The “heroic defender of free speech” label that was bandied about by some over Elon Musk’s costly takeover of Twitter was a farcical view of him.
This “genius” bought Twitter for at least twice what it was worth in reality and now his foolish or complicit restriction policies are damaging his reputation and possibly his future ventures. I suspect his “worldly name” has lost considerable value except to lefties and DeSantis followers perhaps. Is his glowing endorsement of the Gov. a positive or negative now?
I would not join Twitter now if he paid me to join. Hubris is a dangerous thing for characters like Musk. It can and often does ruin people that over estimate themselves. He set the trap he is now in.
I wish this surprised me. But it doesn’t. Very interesting.

This explains why Nellie Ohr got herself a ham radio. She is getting ready to be ready.
Packet wireless for clandestine contractor communications. It all looks on the up and up. Of course that was a long time ago. I remember her and Bruce like a distant memory.
Here’s the problem: Sundance successfully deconstructed the Deep State using a specific set of tools and skills. He’s now trying to apply them to the topic of Twitter, but he’s doing so with a deficit of data points and technical understanding. Case-in-point: AI can *already* solve tcha.
Musk has been warning about it for months, which is how he justified the new verification system. In fact, every time a human *solves* a Captcha challenge he’s training AI to recognize the image or text.
The nation is forever indebted for the work Sundance did in exposing the roots of government corruption, but he’s clueless on this topic.
Here’s a technical breakdown of the difference between a Google spider indexing Twitter, and an AI company scraping every Tweet ever written:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36553585
Scraping has a different load pattern than ordinary use because of caching. Frequently accessed data gets served out of caches and CDNs. Infrequently accessed data results in cache misses that generate (expensive) database queries. Most data is infrequently accessed but scraping accesses everything, so it’s disproportionately resource intensive. Then the infrequently accessed data displaces frequently accessed data in the cache, making it even worse.
Caches are only so large. Expanding them doesn’t buy you much, and increases costs greatly.
The key benefit to a cache is that a small set of content accounts for a large set of traffic. This can be staggeringly effective with even a very limited amount of caching.
Your options are:
1. Maintain the same cache size. This means your origin servers get far more requests, and that you perform far more cache evictions. Both run “hotter” and are less efficient.
2. Increase the cache size. Problem here is that you’re moving a lot of low-yield data to the cache. On average it’s … only requested once, so you’re paying for far more storage, you’re not reducing traffic by much (everything still has to be served from origin), and your costs just went up a lot.
3. Throttle traffic. The sensible place to do this IMO would be for traffic from the caching layer to the origin servers, and preferably for requesting clients which are making an abnormally large set of non-cached object requests. Serve the legitimate traffic reasonably quickly, but trickle out cold results to high-demand clients slowly. I don’t know to what extent caching systems already incorporate this, though I suspect at least some of this is implemented.
4. Provide an alternate archival interface. This is its own separately maintained and networked store, might have regulated or metered access (perhaps through an API), might also serve out specific content on a schedule (e.g., X blocks or Y timespan of data are available at specific times, perhaps over multipath protocols), to help manage caching. Alternatively, partner with a specific datacentre provider to serve the data within given facilities, reducing backbone-transit costs and limitations.
5. Drop-ship data on request. The “stationwagon full of data tapes” solution.
6. Provide access to representative samples of data. LLM AI apparently likes to eat everything it can get its hands on, but for many purposes, selectively-sampled data may be sufficient for statistical analysis, trendspotting, and even much security analysis. Random sampling is, through another lens, an unbiased method for discarding data to avoid information overload.
It seems to me centralization of platforms, that is, how most people gravitate to where the crowd is, results in a new nexus of social control, planned or not. Not to argue it’s organic, but that is besides the point seeking ways to invert the power relationship in digital communication.
Individuals should have control over the platform and software, and choose who to engage with based on mutual agreement with the other person, like meeting somebody or being introduced. And further exchanges should be private, encrypted, and peer-to-peer, and not flow through centralized servers, only an index should perhaps be housed there.
Twitter and Facebook on the other hand, are just one big digital panopticon with full visibility into everything.
The theme should be, to the extent possible, never be a willing participant in someone else’s lab mouse maze.
We need to seek, use, and promote platforms which work more in that manner.
I think I found an old article which illuminates what is happening, it’s like the British in India, to a large extent.
This brings a whole new appreciation for how a targeted population gets systematically milked to death, except in our modern case they add importing foreign cultures to weaken the whole and enable more milking.

Macron also wanted to sit in on a BRICS event…. just sayin
And I for one, was happy to join Truth Social, only to be censored off it 6 weeks ago for responding to a statement that a so-called Black Pastor said. There was nothing racial about it, nor vulgar. I don’t use vulgarity. The next day after I posted it, I received the notice that I had been kicked of TS. All it takes is ONE WORD that any of them do not like and you’re censored.
US govt: Hey Elon, We’ll Censor criticism and damaging info on you and your products, if you Censor those whose comments tell the truth about what we are really doing to undermine the USA and to prevent American citizen’s free speech. DEAL?!!
