CBS' Nancy Cordes just asked John Kirby if the Administration would cut off the use of "technology" involving Musk companies due to controversial statements and reduction of censorship on X. So CBS believes that whole companies should now be cancelled by association?
...Cordes noted that the Administration has already criticized Musk but wanted to know why national security and other programs are still relying on companies associated with Musk. It is the same type of blacklisting that many of us have condemned for years on social media...
...It is disheartening to see the media continue to push for bans and blacklisting. Musk became a public enemy when he allowed the public to see the full censorship efforts at Twitter -- something no other social media company has done. jonathanturley.org/2022/11/30/was…
...What is breathtaking is that, with everything going on for the White House and the world, some in the White House corp are focused on hammering Elon Musk. The question is part of an effort on the left (started years ago) to pressure companies to end advertising with X to pressure Musk to restore widespread censorship.
...Once again, there is an alternative. Publish your own opposing views and let your speech counter the speech of those with opposing views. Instead, many, including many in the media, focus on silencing others through bans and blacklisting.
