Hope you get reinstated on Twitter Jean-Marc - then I'll have a sense that things are changing at Twitter. You and many others should never had been banned!

This is painful to see...PTSD? I don't know, but I keep hoping today is the day that this nightmare ends.

What's interesting is how the Twitter/CDC collusion has been proven via legal/FOIA documentation for a few months now, and yet it is when the news **about Twitter** breaks **ON TWITTER** that serious societal reactions seem to occur.

Elon Musk and co. are taking us through material that we already know about, but the way they're doing it is much more effective in provoking a response.

Quite satisfying to see the massive publication of names of the people at Twitter and within the US federal government who were colluding.

Right? It kind of reminds me of that old essay, "Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus." Except that the NY times is now Twitter and Santa Claus is the elephant in the room with myocarditis or SADs.

Looking forward, also dreading, getting back to Twitter. While Twitter’s actions around censorship are getting lots of attention lately due to Elon Musk’s purgative treatment, the truth is that even at its worst, Twitter was better than Facebook, Google/YouTube, or LinkedIn. Dunno if you’ve tried using FB or LinkedIn for sharing non-dominant ideas, but the throttling of views is astonishing, particularly on LinkedIn. My sense is that everyone on LinkedIn just accepts that it is not in any way a platform where free speech flourishes.
