Better be careful Carol, next thing you know, you will be saying that we should (picture me clutching my pearls and swooning) "tax the rich". Two out of three White Americans will assume you're a Democrat. That you drink the blood of babies and want to inject them with vaccines made of "Demon Sperm".

Nothing good will come of this. This is Musk carrying water for the Trumpublicans so Trump can escape exile. That's all this move ever was.

By coincidence I wrote about this very topic today. This morning I read this excellent "thought piece" on this topic:

Free Speech and Disinformation: Democracy in the Crosshairs

And after a good debate with a fellow reader, I wrote this:

My Take— 01

On Free Speech, the First Amendment, and Twitter.

Some days the Universe just speaks to you.

I never got a Twitter account myself. I guess I'm just too damn old. I really don't care that much what anyone else thinks or is doing.

Still, these companies need to be regulated. They can be used as propaganda systems. They cannot be simply left unwatched to be used by the highest bidder.
