'Elon Musk appears to have outsourced decisions about who to ban from Twitter to the platform's right-wing extremists,' says theintercept's micahflee, co-author of a report on an apparent purge of anti-fascist accounts from the social media site.
multibillionaire Twitter owner Elon Musk is apparently overseeing what critics claim is a purge of anti-fascist voices,"No one should've honestly believed Elon Musk would use his ownership of Twitter to champion free speech."
"What I believe happened is that I and other accounts have been mass reported for the last few weeks by a dedicated group of far-right extremists who want to erase archived evidence of their past misdeeds and to neutralize our ability to expose them in the future," Loder told"What I suspect happened is that Twitter's automatic systems flagged my account for some reason and no human being is reviewing these," Loder added.
The suspensions of left-wing accounts came as Musk restores the accounts of far-right figures, some of whom—like former U.S. President Donald Trump—have called for or"The irony isn't lost on us that our suspension coincides with a coordinated effort to reinstate the most vile antisemitic, transphobic hate accounts," Elm Fork John Brown Gun Club told.
