Apparently Elon Musk and Twitter are not advocates for free speech?

Elon Musk’s Twitter waging war on Substack and Brighteon; no links allowed
https://www.naturalnews.com/2023-04-11-twitter-waging-war-on-substack-brighteon.html

Excerpt from article above:

[There is more trouble in social media paradise as Substack writers have learned that the corrupt social media platform known as Twitter is no longer allowing any Substack links to be liked, retweeted, or pinned.
If a Twitter user tries to embed a Substack link in a tweet, that tweet will now automatically lose its ability to be liked, retweeted, or even commented on. Furthermore, Twitter users can no longer pin a tweet to their profile that contains a Substack link.
Just one day before Twitter imposed this drastic and unexpected change, Substack introduced a new feature called Substack Notes that brings a social media-like feed with tweet-like posts to the popular independent newsletter platform – though, to be clear, Substack Notes is not a Twitter competitor because it exists solely within the newsletter platform’s ecosystem.
“We’re disappointed that Twitter has chosen to restrict writers’ ability to share their work,” said Substack founders Chris Best, Hamish McKenzie, and Jairaj Sethi in a statement provided to Mashable about the issue.
“Writers deserve the freedom to share links to Substack or anywhere else. This abrupt change is a reminder of why writers deserve a model that puts them in charge, that rewards great work with money, and that protects the free press and free speech. Their livelihoods should not be tied to platforms where they don’t own their relationship with their audience, and where the rules can change on a whim.”

@therighttothink50 I know it as “I deplore what you say, but will defend to the death your right to say it”. Anyway, I agree with Voltaire, with a few exceptions.

@therighttothink50 I'm not sure what Musk is up to. Im kind of on the fence. But something odd is going on. But since i dont use the plat form, i dont really care.

Scott Addams was talking about how Musk defendex him and the left labeled Musk a racest. So maybe he is out to topple the system.
I have no idea what substack is. I never heard of it before this week.
Let the games begin.

Substack is where independent thought and writing flourish, it is a community that lets anybody self-publish.

Most conservative writers thrive there, you should not confine yourself to a limited amount of news sources and writing.

So many good people are doing God's work, get involved yourself if you want to. @Confined

@Confined You will also find great videos on Brighteon, the hagmann report and usa watchdog along with trends journal, just to name a few of the hundreds of sites I use weekly.

I don’t know anyone who’s used Twitter since 2016. So it doesn’t really matter.

The Bloke has spoken!

often attributed to Voltaire:

“I wholly disapprove of what you say and will defend to the death your right to say it.”

First all i'm not a leftist, second of all i am not a fan of people who limit and censor speech, read the article and see ny post article.



Anybody who can't see the phoniness of Musk just isn't paying attention.
