    Oh yay, more disingenuous clickbait. The full quote was this:

    Musk defended his decision, arguing that “the choice is have Twitter throttled in its entirety or limit access to some tweets.”

    So the choice was either do what they ordered or take the whole site down for the whole country…… and you think he made the wrong choice?

      He could have tried to fight the order, that’s what the previous management used to do.

        Also, remember the legal battle Elon had against Brazil over suspending some 5 users. It seems like Musk just follows order from governments that are authoritarian.

        Any info on this? All I can find is that they would publish info on how many requests etc they go, not that they would fight them rather than comply.

        Since they were never taken offline or banned in countries I’m assuming they didn’t fight very hard?

  Aha, I see, irony.

  By “every action” you mean “no again.”
