First of all, I need to make sure that you all understand that I have never been a twitter user. I have seen many threads over the years at various web sites I frequent, but I don’t (as of now) have an account. That could change though since Elon Musk has bought the company.
Two reasons for my lack of participation.
1. The censorship. If you have followed me over the years I am not someone who parses what I say. I’m opinionated and not afraid of stating what I think. I’ve been aware for quite some time that there has been some sort of connection between government agencies and social media. I didn’t need an in-depth study from any agency to tell me that social media companies and government agencies aren’t working hand-in-hand. It is so obvious to anyone who even remotely pays attention and is honest with themselves. Of course, we are all aware this censorship worked only one way. If you didn’t toe the official party/government/media narrative line, then you were canceled.
2. While it may seem like a bit of a stretch the second reason does line up with the first. Never actually witnessed it myself but apparently there was much going on twitter that related to child exploitation. I will not kid myself and say perverts don’t run the political spectrum. The difference comes in how each side views child exploitation overall. Based on what has been going on over the last several years, it is notable there seems to be a movement slowly gaining traction to normalize child exploitation. This movement is NOT coming from the right, it is purely a progressive movement. Fortunately, it is still mostly condemned by a very large percentage. However, despite this nearly universal condemnation, twitter choose to focus their efforts on silencing conservatives rather than shutting down these other accounts. Twitter and other social media sites are owned, run, and staffed by progressives. Coincidence?
Well, it seems that Musk is going to make an effort to clean up twitter. He is going to make it a priority to get rid of child exploitation on twitter. I view this as something that should be his top priority and apparently that is just what he is going to do. So, with his efforts to cut ties with the federal government censors who are telling what and who twitter to censor, he is now going to get rid of the perverts. Good on him. And I might just have to open an account.
