The new analysis contradicts the social media platform’s claims that exposure to hate speech and bot-like activity decreased during Elon Musk’s tenure.
Who’d have guessed that Musk’s promise to “maximize free speech” was just a dogwhistle to allow the worst of society to say all the worst things with no pushback.
Oh yeah I guess everyone guessed that. None of these fucks cares about “free speech” they want “free speech without consequences specifically for me, but definitely consequences for the speech of people I don’t like.”
Isn’t a “persistent spike” just an increase?
An increase that never stops increasing.

Turns out “free speech” on a platform controlled by one guy can only ever be a lie.
And a rapid one.
So delighted (probably not the right word, feeling) that this was the top comment when I arrived.
