Musk is only for free speech that he approves of. He’s an election interferer.
He is a megalomaniacal sociopath whose posts are now front and center in every user's timeline. Twitter is no longer a platform for free speech. It is a platform for FORCED speech full of lies and disinformation that incites hate and violence.

There are some fairly basic/non-evil Linux-related groups using Telegram because it is easier to handle than the historic IRC chat system and that WhatsApp is owned by Meta which makes it icky in the eyes of many Linux folks. When Durov got arrested there were a couple Linux groups looking to move off Telegram to something else. So far their fallback is Matrix since even though Signal could provide capability similar to Telegram for a chat group Signal is also messing around with cryptocurrency which makes it icky.
The messaging platform space in terms of tech is not pretty as everybody seemingly has team colors flying of some sort. I’ve worked on another project with the Executive Director of the foundation that backs Matrix. They’re trying to remain neutral toolmakers. So far they’ve got the best promise looking ahead at our strange times.
Thx for including the link with discussion about Zelensky’s channel. I’m not a user of these media so very uneducated about them. I was a bit surprised to read that Telegram has a “switch” where a user can toggle “partial or complete” encryption. I suppose that more adroit users are familiar with this functionality and use it as it meets their needs and concerns. But I wouldn’t have had a clue about this feature. I guess just another reason why I avoid these media. Thx for the primer….

I'm curious what you think of the recent 3d Circuit TikTok case. It distinguished between "publishers" under Section 230 and "distributors" when the site's algorithm actively promoted certain content to others, particularly vulnerable others like the girl who died via the "challenge." Though that case was not about hate speech, I'm not sure I know whether the 1st Amendment right to SAY hate speech is applicable to the right to "distribute" it, or in the case of these algorithms, selling it (why push it if not for clicks and thus advertisers?).
"Distribute" would have to be narrowly defined--not including just quoting of such speech in a report on a Nick Fuentes by the media--but that isn't what the algorithms are doing. It would seem that prohibiting "distribution" in the narrower sense would at least slow down the "viral" phenomenon.

Stop holding back Asha! Tell us how you really feel!
You are my go to for the truth, Asha. It’s becoming increasingly difficult to sort the wheat from the chaff.
Thanks - a very useful summary - greatly appreciated!

Scumbags gotta scum. Civil society should be able to eliminate this kind of behavior.
Freedom of speech should not protect child trafficking.
