Summary:
Elon Musk’s social media platform X has suspended several accounts belonging to opposition figures in Turkey amid widespread civil unrest in the country.
Musk, a self-proclaimed protector of free speech, said he acquired X to restore free speech on the platform.
The suspensions come after extensive demonstrations were sparked by the arrest earlier this week of Turkish President Tayyip Erdoğan’s main political rival, Istanbul Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu. İmamoğlu was arrested just hours before he was nominated to be the presidential candidate for the main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP).
The opposition protests have spread despite the government banning gatherings for four days.
Much of the opposition activity has centered around universities, and many of those connected to the demonstrations are now finding their X accounts suspended, observers report.
“musk’s x” spoken aloud sounds like “musk sex” and that just makes me think of semen.
If only musk stayed as semen…
It will be a very good day when Space Karen and all other billionaire oligarchs get what they deserve.
Block X. Every nation should block X.
So you know your friends that still have a Xitter account? And they have “reasons” for it?
Give them shit. TONS of shit. Rag on them til they drop it. It’s way past time.
I don’t understand why anyone but, right wing fascist, are still on that shit platform.
Like everyone is doing to Tesla…kill off Twitter as well
A fediverse account is the molotov cocktail you can throw at X.
You need to delete the xitter account if you have one, not just stop using it. Get rid of it completely.
Elon “I’ve never done anything harmful” Musk
Fash support fash.
Free speech for me, but…
