    i’m saying it is not atypical by any means for a social media platform to remove profiles of mass shooters. for as long as I can remember, every single time it happens and their social media is found, and it’s subsequently removed. i know this sub is dedicated to hating Musk but you just look stupid when you spin narratives like this. People in this thread are calling for his arrest over it saying that he’s hiding evidence of a crime.

      Facebook does the same thing, and it doesn’t hide evidence because banning someone’s account doesn’t remove their profile’s data. It’s still there for foi requests, warrants, and subpoenas. These social media companies aren’t gonna host a mass shooter’s profile. It’s like how they banned Trump, that wasn’t “hiding evidence,” and it’s likely if you hate Elon you were also loving that Twitter banned Trump.

      Arguably analyzing such profiles would likely show that nearly all nowadays are at least in part radicalized via social media. Turns out if you rattle millions of grenades a few explode.

                  Carlson spoke in favor of Putin. He said white supremacy isn’t a real problem. He said that Democrats are replacing white people. He said the election was stolen. Carlson called women “extremely primitive” and “basic.” “They hate weakness. They’re like dogs that way,”

                  This aren’t just hot air they are the fantasies on which mass murder is based.

      It’s blatantly obvious he was trying to hide the shooters connection to Republicans and Trump. Come on now.
