After hearing about Elon Musk wanting the Global Disinformation Index disbanded, I found out that they engage in self-serving hypocrisy. Because their modus operandi is to harness technology to help politicians or other power-brokers discover where censorship might help out a lot, seeing “tech censorship” as a watchword is hilarious:
If you get caught saying the phrase “tech censorship” then this outfit — which was set up to facilitate a de facto tech censorship — is going to come after you. Why? Because … well … because technology should be utilized in order to censor you, if you are someone who believes that there is “tech censorship” going on out there in the world.
People should be stopped from spreading notions that there are people out there who are supposedly stopping them from spreading notions.
