response of western governments to musk has been interesting and sad Europe's always been like this but this sort of zeal for political control of internet media is a newer phenomenon in the US, where historically the government is more interested in breaking cryptography iirc

my hope is that republicans, what a twist, end up thwarting attempts at indirect censorship via regulation my other case for optimism is that musk might be more belligerently transparent about the censorship hes requires to comply with, tacitly or otherwise

"this tweet is misinformation" hits one way "your government is requiring us to tell you that this tweet is misinformation. heres a list of elected officials who supports this law. here are some alternatives who dont and how you can donate to them" is entirely another

generally social media platforms have been utterly supine in response to government demands for censorship but its harder for me to imagine musk /silently/ acceding to such

and at least in the US, i hope that telling people explicitly that they are being censored by government fiat will have an explosive effect

another case for optimism is, my gut on facebook is zucc doesnt actually want to censor shit particularly but its hard to be the lone holdout musk makes it easier for meta to break ranks
