Here is something really bad going on with this person who has their literal freedom threatened, but let me twist this into why this is Elons fault.

IDGAF about Elon or anything he touches, but the mental gymnastics in this are worthy of a Olympic gold medal

The argument is that by making Twitter a far right cesspool, Musk had made it more difficult for non-western dissidents to reach an international audience. Certainly arguable but not entirely wrong.

Yeah, with that headline I am not very inclined to read this.

Yeah, the first 2/3rds of the article covering Naomi Wu was worth a read, but that last 1/3rd....... I get her argument, but she should have left that out to focus just on Naomi.

This is something that Naomi had even talked about previously, how Western media only cared about the experience of people living in China when it could suit their narrative, and didn't want anything to do with them when it didn't.
