Reddit has temporarily banned one of its communities - and removed another - after X owner Elon Musk claimed comments made by the site’s users about his employees were breaking the law.
The r/WhitePeopleTwitter subreddit, which typically invites people to share funny posts from X, has been banned for 72 hours after some users posted comments calling for violence against members of the Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency (Doge).
They were responding to reports which suggested some Doge staff have been granted access to sensitive personal information of millions of Americans.
Musk - who frequently champions his commitment to free speech - shared a post on X containing the comments, and stated: “they have broken the law”.
The subreddit was banned soon afterwards.
Yeah, he doesn’t give a rats ass about the law. Or, more specifically, he only cares about the laws that protect him, but he doesn’t give a rats ass about the laws that are meant to protect others, often from people like him.
Protect, but not bind, bind, but not protect.
Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.
Also from that post.
I’m not sure if this is your construction, but it’s delightfully (and frightfully) succint.
Defintely not, been around since 2018.
Thank you for enriching me.
Thank you for being enrichable.
fElon Musk.
