Not the Babylon Bee.
Twitter is condemning web censorship. No, not in america or Europe. Twitter is condemning web service suppliers blocking social media apps in Uganda within the runup to their election. Tucker Carlson had a field day with this on Tuesday night time.
Twitter’s Jack Dorsey gave the impression to be in a daze throughout his latest testimony to the Senate however that stupor have to be affecting the remainder of Twitter to the extent that they lack all sense of self-awareness with their condemnation of web censorship over the Uganda elections. This condemnation by Twitter comes on the heels of that social media outlet banning the New York Put up story about Hunter Biden’s laptop computer within the weeks earlier than the November election within the USA. It’s much more absurd because it additionally comes lower than every week after Twitter’s competitor, Parler, was shut down by the social media monopolies when Google and Apple blocked entry to the Parler app and Amazon shut down its server adopted by Jack Dorsey brazenly gloating about it.
Right here is Twitter issuing maybe probably the most clueless tweet of all time about web censorship in Uganda.
Forward of the Ugandan election, we’re listening to stories that Web service suppliers are being ordered to dam social media and messaging apps.
We strongly condemn web shutdowns – they’re massively dangerous, violate fundamental human rights and the ideas of the #OpenInternet.
