This is not a new debate. Deplatforming works.

Wikipedia entry that reads: Musk has promoted conspiracy theories and made controversial statements that have led to accusations of racism, sexism, antisemitism,[352][353] transphobia,[354] disseminating disinformation, and support of white pride.[355][356] While describing himself as a "pro-Semite",[357] his comments regarding George Soros and Jewish communities have been condemned by the Anti-Defamation League and the White House.[358] Musk was criticized during the COVID-19 pandemic for making unfounded epidemiological claims,[359] defying COVID-19 lockdowns restrictions,[360] and supporting the Canada convoy protest against vaccine mandates.[361][362] He has amplified false claims of white genocide in South Africa.[363]
With the launch of xAI's Grokipedia, it's fascinating comparing Elon Musk's Wikipedia entry with his Grokipedia entry.
On COVID, Grokipedia (left) only mentions his donations. On Wiki, it mentions his misinformation and defying of lockdowns.
Insane videos of ICE brutality, including shooting a priest point blank in the face with a tear gas cannister and attacking a blind man. The world is watching the US descend into a fascist fever dream. Thank the Guardians of Pedophiles www.reddit.com/r/PublicFrea... www.reddit.com/r/CringeTikT...

It's not just that the NYT chose to ignore the massive protests -- 300,000 in their city alone! -- but that the piece they *did* run on the front page about Democrats is almost cartoonishly bad in how much it whines that they're just not doing what A.G. Sulzberger LXVII wants them to do.

A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia. A 13-year-old boy was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Everett after an interaction with members of the Everett Police Department and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia, according to his mother and immigration lawyer Andrew Lattarulo. The boyβs mother, Josiele Berto, was called to pick her son up from the Everett Police Department on Thursday, the day he was arrested. After waiting for about an hour and a half, she was told her son was taken by ICE, Berto told the Globe in a phone interview. βMy world collapsed,β Berto said in Portuguese. From the police department, the boy was taken to ICEβs holding facility in Burlington on Thursday evening, where he spent a night before being transferred by car to the Northwestern Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Winchester, Va., on Friday morning, his mother said. The juvenile facility is more than 500 miles away from Everett. The boy is a 7th-grader at Albert N. Parlin School in Everett, his mother said. The teen and his family, who are Brazilian nationals, have a pending asylum case and are authorized to work legally in the United States, Lattarulo said.
ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA.
