(111,245 posts)said it was so mean of Twitter monitors to stifle all those sensible fascist, er, conservative voices and that Americans were being deprived of half the information they needed to make informed choices. Oh, yeah, I can hear it now.
Apparently Musk's lawyers were a little saner. I can hear them, too, talking in terms of liability for right wing, er, conservative abuses that have caused some very real harm to people in the real world.
I doubt Musk knows which way is up right now, which is why the deal is on hold. That and maybe he's paid a visit to Gab.
I don't like Twitter, never have, so I'll have fun watching whatever happens.
