Oh, and by the way, do not trust Elon Musk or Twitter. Here's Elon Musk agreeing with Thierry Breton on the ridiculously censorious Digital Services Act:

The EU want to do an end run around the US Constitution and police Americans' speech online by placing their own arbitrary restrictions on platforms.

We don't need a "liberated Twitter". There is no such thing. The point of all of this nonsense on Twitter is to get people to visibly misbehave in such a way as to justify further censorship and chilling of free expression. What we actually need is a boycott of centralized social media platforms and the establishment of alternative, peer-to-peer, decentralized, and censorship-proof modes of communication, in active contempt both of DHS and EU overreach into private citizens' communications online. Think IPFS and OrbitDB.
