"X had not removed any of the 33 posts, three of which received 'community notes' appending fact-checks or additional context to the original post." This is really it. Musk threw out the censorship baby out with the bathwater, so if you're a lunatic you now know you can post without a takedown.
New: Federal, state and local officials leading the Hurricane Helene relief efforts are facing vicious antisemitic online hate and real-world threats, fueled on Elon Musk's X, where anti-Jewish conspiracy posts are racking up tens of millions of views. Gift link: wapo.st/4eQKjFd
Report finds Elon Musk’s platform is fueling falsehoods and conspiracy theories that risk undermining rescue efforts — and preparations for Hurricane Milton.

This is good news ... for Ben Smith.
I’ve just cancelled my account on X finally after thinking about it for some time. There are still some commentators over there that I’ll miss but Musk is such a horrible degenerate that to continue to support that platform is something I just find unconsionable.
It's worse than this – he threw out the baby (preventing spread of disinformation) but kept the bathwater (removal of politically disfavored posts and accounts).
Using the "baby thrown out with the bathwater" metaphor implies that this wasn't Musk's plan all along. You know better. Musk is a fascist, promoting fascism at every opportunity.
Did hate-speech laws get repealed when I wasn’t paying attention?
Why is there never any effort by people in power to stop lunatics like Musk? Brazil kicked the entire website out but we can’t even stop him from actively inciting violence in a disaster area.
Based on my years playing Clue on the living room rug in the mid-'60s, I'm ready to make an accusation in the murder of the American soul: Ex-president Mustard (and co.) on X with the hurricane Big Lie. ...because it will work, unless Fox shocks us with a full-force pivot against it -- and Trump.
Unless you are Ukrainian. Because then you receive a suspension within 10 minutes.
