#elonmusk is #purging thousands more #employees at #twitter https://www.zerohedge.com/political/elon.. According to #leaks , apparently tonnes of #employees were open #communists and #hate #freespeech . Apparently they did this, rather than do their actual #jobs . twitter #employees are openly trying to #sabotage the #company from within. If it didn't #destroy #twitter I'm sure he would #fire them all.

Essentially, these #leftwing #institutions *love* having an #influential #platform that is mostly a #bubble of their own people.Even better, #elonmusk looking to #fire half of #twitter https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/elon-m.. It looks like there was really that much fat to be cut. #twitter may still yet become a #profitable #company !
I've #considered #christine 's / #xe 's #request that #twitter not become a place of #freespeech , but I believe the #argument is not strong: https://xeiaso.net/blog/twitter-fears One of the #fears they have is that it will lead to #threats of #violence - but this is not covered by #freespeech . As those of the #leftwing have #claimed all along, " #private #companies can do whatever they want". Suddenly it is #unpalatable when a #company does not act in your #favour - welcome to the #realworld .
#nz #pm #jacinda 's #un #speech #edited to portray her true speech: https://youtube.com/watch?v=BGNo0Ga6WBY The truth is, her goal *will* cause #censorship and dramatically affect #freespeech . Since #covid people are even more aware of how important it is. I was there are the #christchurchcall , and the #rhetoric was exactly the same.
Not sure how to feel about this #cloudflare #blocking #kiwifarms from their #ddos #service https://blog.cloudflare.com/kiwifarms-bl.. In terms of #freespeech , it seems like a real #shame . In terms of #illegal #activities such as #swatting and #doxxing , good riddance. If this is the bar to entry, surely other #social #media such as #facebook and #twitter could equally be #banned ? They did it to #parler after all...
Very interesting, #billgates #caught fuelling #money into anti- #elonmusk #companies because he " #threatens " to bring back #freespeech to #twitter https://youtube.com/watch?v=DPIXDsblr2E Madness.
Looking forward to getting a #uk #billofrights as a new #constitution to #protect #freespeech https://youtube.com/watch?v=AmXt7upb8dI #british people already #believe they have these rights, rather than the watered down #freedomofexpression they actually have.
Very #concerning that #chinese #students at the #university of #perdue #gatekeeping #freespeech of students #studying in the #us https://www.purdueexponent.org/campus/ar.. #china 's #ccp has infected into #western #campuses ... Even an #nz #academic was #harassed #criminally over their #research https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne-Marie.. I think the #ccp needs to be recognized as a #threat .
Wow, apparently #posting " #false #information #online " could get you two years in #prison in the #uk https://www.zerohedge.com/political/brit.. Who #decides what is correct? This of course is *massive* chiller on #freespeech - and even #freeexpression (which the #uk technically has).
Great little #review by the #freespeechunion on ways in which #freespeech is being attacked in the #uk https://freespeechunion.org/weekly-news-.. Worth taking note.
Concerning #trend away from #freespeech on #us #campuses - with most students believing that blocking #freespeech is itself free speech: https://www.zerohedge.com/political/heck.. Honestly that is saddening and I really hope it does not infect the rest of the West.
Ouch, the #imf wants to start looking at your #internet #history to judge your #banking #creditscore https://www.extremetech.com/internet/326.. That's not scary or invasive at all - I cannot see any possible way this ends #freespeech - something #banks are *already* doing by denying business to companies like #onlyfans and #pornhub for example.
That's mighty big of this person to defend the #freespeech of a #racist #critic that called them a " #housenegro ": https://www.spiked-online.com/2021/08/18.. #ayshakhanom , a former #academic at #leedsbeckett #university , was #racist towards #calvinrobinson after they challenged the #racetrust - by suggesting that #racism often comes from #woke people trying to be #politicallycorrect ... What a world we live in.
Interesting, it seems like a #millionaire from #bitcoin #investment as built a #freespeech #phone https://www.lotuseaters.com/youngest-bit.. Not sure if there are enough #buynow buttons on the homepage: https://freedomphone.com/ Currently it doesn't mention #specs or even why it is #privacy first, or how it is different from #android - but could be interesting to watch at least.
The #oxford #student #union was once a bastion of #freespeech - now it is setting up a 'Student Consultancy of Sensitivity Readers': https://www.lotuseaters.com/oxford-stude.. Apparently they will be removing #racist and #sexist articles, something the student union is supposedly well known for... Or it could be about controlling the narrative - but we'll see.

They raise some good points, including supporting #trump 's right to use #facebook and #twitter - despite this stance not being popular. I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt on this one for now.Yet another institution falling short on #freespeech https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/06/us/ac.. The #aclu apparently defended the fundamental rights of the #nazis and #kkk - but somebody who says "trans women are not women" (for example) is apparently too much to stomach. Something went very wrong when misgendering somebody is worse than Nazi death camps...
