It's not doxxing, it's posting public information and it's 100% free speech.

It certainly is doxxing (although there is no legal definition of it that I'm aware of). I also wrote that X has the least censorship of any social media platform. If you have to dig down to elonjet, it just affirms my statement.

Elon also has legitimate concerns for his safety.

		It's public information, it's not doxxing. > Elon also has legitimate concerns for his safety. Musk constantly posts racist and violent provocations. Free speech for him, brutal censorship for everyone he disagrees with.

X has probably the lowest level of censorship for right-wing racist incels of any social media platform.

FTFY.

No it does not. It has pro-far-right censorship which is something different.

Many right wingers confuse free speech with "nazi get to talk and everyone else should shut up and not oppose them". So, the mistake is understandable.

Just what is he censoring? I've seen plenty of far-out posts from both the left and right on X.

I saw plenty of far out posts under the previous owners too...

But X banned accounts for non-spam content violations at a much higher rate than Twitter and approved content censorship requests from authoritarian states at a higher rate

In this algorithmically recommended world it would be naive enough to think that censorship is as binary as “you can’t say that!” or “now you see it / now you don’t (because we took it down!)” It’s all about the reach these days, i.e. “you can say whatever you want but we control how many people actually see it”:

And there it is, posted on X.

BTW, if I owned X, I would also not allow pictures of mutilated people or sexual content. The previous incarnation of Twitter did not allow that either, but did censor right wing content and anything that disagreed with Fauci covid policy.

		Hey buddy, get fucked. That's the level of response you deserve. This comment will be killed and I do not care. It needed to be said to you.

X has massive censorship. Not only are pro-Palestinian accounts regularly banned, reach is restricted on any anti-Israel content. They even censored the Iranian flag! If you post it, X replaces it with their own, incorrect version.

Here's an example of recent censorship: https://x.com/PushDemsLeft/status/2085803160342241367

		Why are you repeating the same link? And it's still up on X.
