Elon Musk Buying Twitter: Why It's a Bigger Battle Than You Think

Elon Musk’s bid to take over Twitter and reduce “content moderation policies” is much more complex and possibly dangerous than it appears. Twitter and other US-based social media corporations aren’t just bad corporations with equally bad policies - they are an integral part of US state censorship, information warfare, and - most importantly - establishing dominance in the information space of other nations around the globe.

This power will not be given up without a serious fight.
