| I had that exact same thought. The argument they presented applies to any walled garden, they gave no reason why X would be the exception. It's clear this is about politics, and I'm not opposed to that, Elon is not awesome, but trying to justify it otherwise seems kind of shady. |

| It's pretty damn simple actually. Their target audience by and large doesn't use twitter anymore, either. |

Ignoring people of any demographic or political persuasion would be a serious strategic mistake in my opinion. | |

IDK where else has more of the intellectual discourse on AI. Definitely not the likes of instagram or TikTok. Sure, those platforms are more censored and kid friendly, but I don't think that's really who the EFF should be focusing on as their audience. | | |
