Elon Musk’s X sues watchdog Media Matters for its damning report (www.cnn.com)

Elon Musk's social media company X filed a lawsuit against Media Matters for America on Monday, saying it manufactured a report to show advertisers' posts alongside neo-Nazi and white nationalist posts in order to drive advertisers from the platform and destroy X Corp.

In response, Media Matters claims that the lawsuit is frivolous and aimed at silencing critics of X.

Ironically, a news report this morning revealed that Media Matters is a censorship organization funded by George Soros and others who oppose Western civilization. The organization is said to be designed to suppress certain views.

While these big companies are stuck in profit-driven conflicts, the commitment to protecting freedom of speech and privacy seems to have been completely forgotten. Now, the truth is treated as the new hate speech.

Due to my parents' relationship issue, my childhood was miserable. I have to say that choosing to cut out my parents after going to college was the best decision I have made in the past 25 years. They once made me feel like I was the most guilty person in the world, but now I realize that they were the ones.

Funner fact, social media apps collect more data than anybody else.

What concerns me most is that biometric data is permanent and cannot be changed. If we share it with the digital world, it could lead to lifelong privacy risks. And I believe that the risks and threats to privacy brought by the UK's Online Safety Bill far outweigh the protection it can provide us with.

I don't know how the government plans to enforce the Bill, but as far as I know, some decentralized encrypted messaging apps are unstoppable, because every user who using the app jointly creates the social network that avoids a single point of failure.

Do you use multiple phone numbers as well? Because that can be quite bothersome.
