Lecture title: "The US Government Censored Dissident Scientists to Protect It From Criticism of Its Own Misinformation"


he's a nutjob on public health issues, but here he mentions very solid facts on government censorship. (before you down vote, most his facts are from judge decisions)

anyone following the common carrier (section 230?) issue, this is old news, with no discussion in public about the change of the status quo happening recently (this talk also miss this point). covid censorship was a gray area on this... but musk treating Twitter like his living room should have blasted the common carrier discussion wide open. yet, nothing.


I love HN, where programmers get to call Stanford profs nut jobs!

Pre X, WH/DoJ/FBI/DNC treated twitter like their living room. Musk at least owns it lock stock and barrel to treat it as his living room.
