    So if Twitter wasn't promoting free speech under the previous ownership because it pushed "crazy far left talking points", you accept that Musk's Twitter also isn't promoting free speech since it is doing the same but pushing right leaning talking points instead?

    So you are talking shit.

    Well done for once again proving you have 0 in reading comprehension. The prior twitter wasn't promoting free speech because it arbitrarily banned people who were speaking out against the current narrative, something Musk's twitter doesn't do.

    But it does artificially promote posts to drive their engagement, which is not free speech you mook.

    Twitter accused of censorship in India as it blocks Modi critics
    Twitter has been accused of bowing to government pressure in India by blocking scores of prominent journalists, politicians and activists from its platform in recent weeks.

    The Indian government issued notices to Twitter to remove people in the aftermath of an internet shutdown in Punjab during the search for a fugitive Sikh separatist leader.

    Twitter agreed to block more than 120 accounts, including the Canadian politician Jagmeet Singh, the Canadian poet Rupi Kaur, several journalists and an Indian MP. Twitter also blocked the handle of the BBC’s Punjabi bureau.

    Jaskaran Sandhu, the Toronto-based co-founder of Baaz News, an outlet focused on the Sikh diaspora, received an email from Twitter on 21 March that said his account had been withheld in India. In the email, seen by the Guardian, no specific tweet or activity by Sandhu was cited by Twitter for its action.

    “The Indian government has made it a norm to take draconian measures and crack down on dissent coming from Sikh or other minority communities,” Sandhu said. “Twitter’s actions are just another example [that imply] civil liberties and democratic rights are under attack.”

    “My entire account, not any tweet, has been banned in India. It is blanket censorship. And there is absolute silence from Twitter on this.”

    Heard about this earlier - it already sounds botched. Apparently porridge will not be advertised pre-watershed as it's a junk food, neither will muesli or granola, but pork pies and sausage rolls can be advertised. :confused

    I don't really watch TV proper anymore to see ads (and would generally switch over or leave the room when a break was on) but cannot say I've ever seen an ad for pork pies.

    An inquiry has already taken place (report published 2022) and none of the recommendations have been implemented at this point. Would be a huge waste of time and money to have another one.

    Pathetic political point scoring at it's finest
