X, the Elon Musk-owned platform formerly known as Twitter, is marking some links to news organization NPR’s website as “unsafe” when users click through to read the latest story about an altercation between a Trump campaign staffer and an Arlington National Cemetery employee. The warning being displayed is typically applied to malicious links, like those containing malware, and other types of misleading content or spam. However, in this case, the web page being blocked is an NPR news report, raising questions about whether or not Musk’s X is actively trying to stop the news story from spreading.

This is an obvious abuse of power, and is clearly illegal, or at least it is in EU, but since this is about USA, it’s probably alright, because USA is no longer a country of law. If it was, Trump would not still be walking around a free man, running for president.
I hope EU will never decline to the depths Trump and republicans have dragged USA.
It’s about accreditation in the US. It’s the same reason Fox News and Newsmax are classified as “entertainment.” Social media companies are not required to provide accurate information. They’re only held accountable by civil suits for slander or libel.
Well the way things are going, X may need to shut down in EU soon.
Even Brazil doesn’t tolerate their bullshit anymore.
Twitter operates in the EU, so if this were illegal in the EU then the EU would file a complaint. Maybe it’s not illegal in the EU.
They don’t act that fast.
It is unsafe. Unsafe for Elmo’s conspiracy/misinformation posts
Yet the same news sites keep linking to X and keep posting to X accounts.
What do you call someone who uses a fascist-owned platform with a fascist user base? Motherfuckers need to let that shit die already.

ah the crazy variety
Lol the account is minutes, maybe hours old. What a silly little troll
Fascism and Marxism are very clearly defined and I assure you the government / USA establishment is about as far from Marxist as you can get.
Unless I missed the part where we all own the means of production and aren’t wage slave proletarians.
I don’t think you know what Marxism is.
Unsafe for den of liars because people could hear something true.
you mean Xitter??
Xitter’s full.
Yet Twitter would probably sue other sites like Facebook if Facebook blocked them. Hypocrite
Blocking access during an election year to a well respected and accurate news outlet that has never been known to be “unsafe” seems like election interference to me.
Fuck Elon Musk.
What do you mean “caught”? Do you “catch” someone punching you in the face?
Yes you do. That’s what the phrase “catch these hands” is referring to 😁
