Here's where sane people are going if Elon buys Twitter. And it's already started.

Are we upset because Mr. Musk is going to allow too much freedom of speech on the 'new' Twitter, or too little?

Too little. Haven't you followed how he behaves when people talk back to him?

Seems Trumpian to me.

Yeah. Me.
 
LOL! Yeah, go join an echo chamber.
 
Why should Biden stop Musk from buying Tweeter?

"RT IF YOU THINK THAT RTing IS WORTHWHILE!"

"BUT RT IT ON TS!"

:ROFLMAO:🍿
 
I've never been on Twitter.. Never will be..

But hey If Musk wants to spend $44 billion to make a political statement.. I don't give a shit.. He's got the money.. Let him...

But the way he's been acting lately, it's a given if he buys it he'll kill it.. But don't expect me to feel bad a multi-billionaire wasted $44 billion... Wahhhhh..

He's going to promote the spread of misinformation and lies.

This is not a "free speech" issue as it involves a private company and not the government.

LOL! What is that? another echo chamber somewhere on the internets?

Don't vote for these people. Vote Independent, maybe democrats will regain their sanity someday.

Insofar as freedom of speech pertains to a citizen's ability to "be heard", i.e., effectively voice his opinions to a broad public audience, this is nothing but a free speech issue.

If it wasn't, nobody would be complaining about Mr. Musk's loosening content restrictions on the platform.

I don't understand the attraction of Twitter. I do, however, understand that untold millions of people rely on it daily and that studies show it has immense influence on public opinion, to the extent that it's a de facto public utility in many locales. Whatever we may choose to call it, it's obvious that the principal resistance to Mr. Musk's takeover is coming from people who, rightly or not, want to marginalize--if not outright silence--opinions they object to.

However, I asked the question because there are also people worried that Mr. Musk will increase content restrictions on Twitter.
 
How about we just get rid of social media in general.

No, it does not "pertain" to that.

I don't know of a single person complaining about that.

I do know people who don't wanna give a bullhorn to the insurrectionist, in case he wants to try it again.

You should care. It's not about him losing money, it's bout the effect on our politics. "Hey if Elon Musk wants to buy the New York Times and MSNBS and make them right-wing mouthpieces I don't care. He'll probably lose money, who cares".
