I am pretty sure no one ever thought the government censoring speech was legal in the first place; the government was just doing it and there was no one to stop them.
So what does a court ruling saying “this obviously illegal thing you are doing is illegal” mean? Basically nothing.
It’s interesting, but that’s all.
Whatever you think of Elon Musk – and I personally think he’s a fat retard who is bad at video games and censors well-meaning people for no good reason – it was the release of the Twitter Files that allowed this to happen.
That was really the only way the government was ever going to get caught – for a billionaire to offer a deal that the board couldn’t refuse to buy Twitter and take it private, and then to publicly dump the company’s emails with the FBI. If that wouldn’t have happened, this would have just gone on forever and ever and ever.
Sadly, it is still going to go on forever. The government is no doubt still telling Facebook what to do and they don’t even have to tell Google – Google censors because they like it.
Meanwhile, the government is working to bring down or otherwise neutralize Elon Musk. They’ve now brought in the – *checks notes* – the Prime Minister of Israel to help with that project. And to play the “good cop,” no less! Who would have thought! Bibi is the good cop!
Netanyahu did an interview with Musk and pumped him up as a great hero, then asked him to censor anti-Semitism “within the confines of the First Amendment.”
