Hypocrisy much?
@mikegalsworthy this made me howl
@mikegalsworthy just pulled the plug on twitter. Going to miss a lot of people but happy to not encourage the hate that is growing there.
@mikegalsworthy Elon’s such a hypocrite!!
@mikegalsworthy Elon’s word is not worth a plugged nickel

Fascinating how he's trying to construct innocuous sounding "policies" to suppress certain voices, while preserving his free speech vibe. Also fascinating that journalistic orgs are so willing to accept these transparent schemes at face value.
I think any journalist who operates in an environment where they concede that they could be banned at any moment is succumbing to a form of voluntary censorship. I experienced this in South Africa, as others did I am sure and remember the idea of 'banning'.
Having experienced this I assure you it's not the mark of a 'free speech' environment.

@mikegalsworthy this tweet ages like milk in a midday summer sun

Maybe they'll get around to suspending me sometime soon, though this all went up prior to the new policy - and I suspect I'm shadow-banned already.

That reminds a bit of television in the GDR. Watching other channels, let alone western TV (Westfernsehen) was strictly forbidden
