In a recent twist, X decided to block links related to a story about JD Vance’s hacked dossier after the Trump campaign raised concerns. According to The New York Times, this move came after the campaign requested that X halt the circulation of the links.
Interestingly, X justified its actions by citing its policies against sharing unredacted private information, which led to the suspension of the journalist who initially broke the story. Talk about a plot twist!
This situation stands in stark contrast to Elon Musk’s previous stance two years ago when he criticized Twitter for suppressing a 2020 story about Hunter Biden’s laptop. Back then, he labeled their decision as a potential violation of the First Amendment and even shared internal documents to shed light on the issue.
However, Musk’s commitment to being a “free speech absolutist” is looking a bit shaky these days. His involvement in efforts to support Trump’s re-election campaign has sparked debates about his true intentions.
In fact, Trump has hinted at possibly giving Musk a significant role in his administration if he returns to power. Now that’s a partnership we didn’t see coming!
So, what do you think about all this? Is it free speech or just selective censorship? Let me know your thoughts!
