An article published in the Jewish Insider is calling for X CEO Elon Musk to reinstitute draconian censorship policies under the guise of fighting back against right-wing antisemitism.
The article titled, “Elon Musk’s role in the rise of right-wing antisemitism,” claims that X’s algorithm “incentivizes” right-wing extremism and “guardrails” ought to be instituted to prevent wrongthink from spreading on the platform.
“The First Amendment protects anyone’s freedom to say whatever they want, no matter how odious. It doesn’t guarantee anyone to have their extreme views amplified on private platforms to the point where our public discourse now resembles a modern-day Tower of Babel story,” the article states.
The article calls out Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens and Nick Fuentes as three voices that need to be shut down and put in their place by Big Brother in order to stop “hate and extremism from distorting the body politic.”
“As a result of the excesses of left-wing ideology on social media in the last decade, the conservative rallying cry was to rail against any curation or regulation on these social media platforms as censorship. We’re now seeing where that zero-sum game way of thinking leads,” the article states.
Expect many more influence operations designed to pressure Elon Musk into re-instituting censorship in the weeks and months to come. Musk has called himself a “free speech absolutist” and has thus far run his platform in a way that would indicate he is telling the truth. But the would-be gatekeepers will never give up until Musk acquiesces to their digital censorship regime.
