From Monday to Tuesday of this week, the social media platform X (formerly Twitter)—Elon Musk’s sanctum of free speech—briefly became a scammers’ paradise because of an executive decision to change the free speech of posts he didn’t like.

Making users pay is only way to stop bots taking over platform
A big part of what has led to social media platform Twitter/X’s current popularity is the lack of fees for signing up. The “public square” role the platform has often claimed only works if the public can actually access it. But that’s been significantly changed since Elon Musk’s 2022 acquisition of the platform for $44

It turns out this story is the tip of a fascistic iceberg that is being funded by your taxpayer dollars. Michael Shellenberger recently released an incredible video showing the disturbing corruption happening in Brazil right now — the same kind that is taking hold in our own government. It’s shocking.
