Cue Liberal TEARS: Elon Musk Could Announce Twitter Purchase TODAY | Louder with Crowderwww.youtube.com

ELON MUSK MAKES FUN OF BILL GATES

• Musk’s concerns about Twitter censorship may soon be alleviated. Twitter is apparently nearing a deal to sell to Musk! SOURCE: NYT
• Twitter shares jumped 5% on the news, showing the market clearly favors a Musk takeover. SOURCE: CNBC
• If Musk buys Twitter, we can probably expect more gems like his dig at Bill Gates.
  • The two were apparently supposed to join forces against climate change. However, leaked text messages show the team fell apart when Gates admitted to shorting Tesla stock. SOURCE: Twitter
  • After the partnership fell through, Musk dropped a tweet comparing Gates to the new pregnant man emoji. The right obviously found this hilarious, but Musk fully expected action from Twitter censors.

STATE-SPONSORED CENSORSHIP

• In a press release dated 23 April 2022, the Council of the European Union announced a provisional agreement for the Digital Services Act. SOURCE: Europa.eu
• It obligates search engines and platforms with over 45M active monthly users to monitor for:
  • Dissemination of illegal content
  • Adverse effects on fundamental rights
  • Manipulations of democratic processes
  • Adverse effects on gender-based violence and minors
• However, laws to prevent hate speech (illegal content) across Europe are overbroad. SOURCE: LegalProject
  • Denmark - Art. 226(b) criminalizes “expressing and spreading racial hatred.”
  • France - Press Law of 1881 “incitement to racial discrimination, hatred, or violence.”
  • UK - POA 1988, Sec 18(1) criminalizes “threatening, abusive, or insulting words or behavior.”
• The implementation of such laws in Europe affects us in the US, too. Crowder was just hit with a warning this morning.
• For context, the Network Enforcement Act criminalizes online dissemination of: SOURCE: Perma
  • Propaganda
  • Preparations against the state
  • Treasonous forgery
  • Public incitement
  • Disturbing public peace via threats
  • Inciting hatred against a racial, ethnic, or national group
• How does this tweet warrant a warning?
