The Nazis used the power of the state to “other” those they hated, and they co-opted private industry, as well. Definitely sounds like what one party is doing, but I’m not sure it’s the party you have in mind…

Elon Musk Claims Apple Has 'Mostly Stopped' Offering Ads on Twitter and Is Making Moderation Demands

You use "unbiased" like something of a mocking slur. My point is that "left" and "right" don't have any meaning. It's what people (and governments) do that can be called fascism. Using left and right implies that there are things that are specific to the terms.
Yeah except that's not how things work. Twitters terms of service:
"There is no place on Twitter for violent organizations, including terrorist organizations, violent extremist groups, or individuals who affiliate with and promote their illicit activities. The violence that these groups engage in and/or promote jeopardizes the physical safety and well-being of those targeted. Our assessments under this policy are informed by national and international terrorism designations, as well as our violent extremist group and violent organizations criteria."
But again, doesn't impact twitter employees directly so tweet away as long as you don't tweet out "He let's go kill some people today!" So while you live in your bubble of safety and worry about what politician is going to set you off and upset you, there are extremist groups allowed to tweet because they haven't said anything mean to someone in their tweets. Makes sense.
I don't think he wanted Twitter to fail in the beginning, but I'm positive he wants to tank it now after he realised how managing robots is so different to managing people. He just doesn't want to be seen to be actively tanking it.
He wants to be seen as reasonable while everybody else is unreasonable, and I think that he thinks that is the Status Quo.

Musk isn't seeking any requirement to advertise; go see Elon's discussion on Apple's antics against open and fair discussion on Twitter which is exactly what this is about.
But hey, hew the party line, Comrade. 🤣

To paraphrase Voltaire, those who believe in absurdities can commit atrocities without ever thinking they’re doing anything wrong. What would happen if there were an omnipotent AI that was trained to believe absurdities? Grok is the only AI that is laser-focused on truth.

Apple should ban all apps. Steve Job's v1.0 approach was best. Problem solved lol. 
Your wide behavioral swings may actually be a sign of being overly impressionable and impulsive.
You keep making claims that you fail to backup. This is not a mainstream view in any way. This whole thing wouldn’t even be a problem in the first place if the same folks claiming they don’t support hate speech weren’t also frequently the same folks spouting transphobic rhetoric.

The first amendment isn’t in danger of going anywhere. However, if nobody wants to associate with you or give you a platform because of your odious views, then that’s on you.Musk isn't seeking any requirement to advertise; go see Elon's discussion on Apple's antics against open and fair discussion on Twitter which is exactly what this is about.

Only acceptable response is to ask for their 30%
And that’s why Musk said the “posted on iPhone” line is going away.
The point he is trying to make is actually identifying where the line is drawn when interpreting speech. Policing speech accurately and fairly is no simple matter. You do understand that’s the point right?
What if it was leaked to Tim Apple that Elon Musk was about to make public all communications with government to censor certain people on Twitter.
Would that bother apple loyalists?
Maybe, just maybe this is what the 'ban Twitter from the apple app store' is all about. Just maybe. It does make sense, though.
What if it's not about Free Speech but Censorship? There's such a vested interest in the term 'misinformation' and it has worked to great effect they must keep going with it tagged to 'Free Speech' and not mention it's really, truly censorship.

Do you have proof to back up these claims? Or are you just talking just because.....
ssshhh. Get out of here with your common sense. Don't you know it doesn't belong here!

I'd say you are purposely distorting what it is to support your argument. What it actually is for all users is a private platform.
Strange juxtaposition of conspiracy theories there! If it favors right wing, it's just for innocent reasons. But if you perceive it to favor left wing, it's a "shadowy cabal of elites". Give me a break.
Again, the questions say nothing about suppressing content. You're just making that up. If I say rainbows are more important to me than unicorns, it doesn't mean I want to suppress unicorns. Unicorns could be the second most important thing in the world to me.
The real life book bans are coming from the right.

Yeah makes sense. We don't like the owner of Twitter and we don't like free speech so lets stop all iOS users using the application because we don't like it. Nice Apple.
100%. Reddit is worse honestly. But that isn't garnering headlines and Twitter has celebrities and politicians up in arms so the "Social Justice Warrior" thing to do right now is to stop doing business with Twitter.
Odious views? Oh, you must mean this development which didn't make the MR story:
"The Twitter Files on free speech suppression soon to be published on Twitter itself. The public deserves to know what really happened …" - Elon Musk.
No worries, it's just a little free speech revelations coming out which TC/Apple want to stop.
