"...Elon Musk issued an edict to the journalism community. Obey me ... or you will be banned from posting on #Twitter.""This should have been a pivotal moment in media history — an inflection point when journalists realized how dangerous it is to put their fates in the hands of people who claim to revere free speech but use their power to control it...thanks to a combination of journalistic cowardice, inertia and calculation, business as usual prevailed." --@dangillmor https://www.techdirt.com/2023/01/04/journalists-and-others-should-leave-twitter-heres-how-they-can-get-started/

@gilduran So you're saying that journalists should have resented being told there might be a new boss to obey? Because they certainly had no problems with the prior boss. Only the nameplate had changed, with less clear loyalties, after all.Maybe they should have been aware that the trough they fed from was poisoned by virtue of being a trough; who put the slop into it was irrelevant.

(This was posted as a response to a post with a link saying that journalists should leave Twitter, since Elon Musk is apparently in control of what they're free to say. The original content seems to have been deleted.)

@gilduran @dangillmor so he did it overtly, what was going on at Twitter before - and is still happening behind the scenes - is progressives applying it covertly. potato, potaaato.
