My understanding is that Elon is mainly interested in eliminating ideologically and politically motivated censorship. He has recently given an interview on what he calls the "woke mind virus"[0], in which he talks about his views on free speech. Banning links to a Twitter competitor would not necessarily be inconsistent with this objective.
The first definition I found on "free speech absolutist":
> Free speech absolutists believe that any limitation on political speech is veering into dangerous territory. They believe that restricting free speech in any way, including curbing insulting or factually incorrect speech, means assigning gatekeepers who decide what can and cannot be expressed in public.
Twitter's censorship policy does seem to have moved in that direction in general.
But I grant you that the terms are a bit overloaded and it's not always clear what people mean by them.
PS: Edited "free speech" to "principles" since it was causing much debate about semantics.
Also, I’m not sure how they are scraping Twitter using /the/ Substack IP? Not even clear what that means tbh - the website is running on one IP and simultaneously running scrapers?
I would hardly call FT state propaganda in any circumstance. To me true state propaganda is where the state has editorial authority over the dissemination of stories - in the west that still relatively rare.
But absolutely independent of whether FT are propaganda - it does not matter in any way to this story whether they are a 'protected class'. The outrage is that TikTok employees abused their user data in the pursuit of an agenda against targeted individuals.
Elon flies in Gulfstream G650ER jet. As required by the FAA, it is equipped with an ADS-B transponder which broadcasts its position in the clear. Just as traveling on public roads means that you are visible and observable to the public, flying via public roads does not guarantee total privacy - the service that @elonjet was using is maintained by private volunteers, who use their personal network of SDR receivers to spot and aggregate flight data.
"Real time location" means the real time landing of an aircraft at an airport. I don't think people who fly in private aircraft should have a reasonable expectation of complete privacy if they're using public airspace and safety systems maintained by public authorities. If government officials / air force one can cope with being tracked by radio transponders transmitting in the clear, I don't know why Elon expects he can do any better.
The incident Elon purports to have taken issue was forty miles away from an airport days after his jet had last been spotted by @elonjet.
>people will use cryptocurrency with increasing frequency.
For what? "Value storage" and grey/black market purchases and laundering? Because the dream of crypto being used as money for real everyday transactions looks more and more preposterous with each passing day.
>>For what? "Value storage" and grey/black market purchases and laundering?
For everything:
International remittance: no need to go the bank. Just send the USDC/DAI/RAI from my hardware wallet.
Community treasuries: if me and a few other people in an online community want to create a jointly controlled fund, we can easily do that by creating a DAO, complete with a multisignature wallet. This doesn't require us to live in the same country, to register a corporation or a corporate controlled bank account, or reveal our real identities to each other. It makes casual financial collaboration orders of magnitude easier.
Registration-free electronic cash payments. If I have a MetaMask browser wallet, and layer 2s finally solve the problem of extremely constrained Ethereum scalability, I'll be able to visit a website and when I encounter a paywall, I'll be able to pay $0.01 to read the article, instead of having to choose between buying a subscription or simply not reading the article (more likely). This is the kind of casual transaction between parties without an existing relationship that becomes far more practical with a well-developed cryptocurrency sector.
Cryptocurrency becomes better than traditional finance for a significant fraction of payment applications if when scalability and privacy is solved. Relevant:
I would hugely prefer that journalists and media organizations be incentivized by subscription revenue than by click revenue and other parasitic ventures.
A weakness for the specific application you are interested in is that I don't think it works with banned or quarantined subreddits - the archived dumps probably have that, but not the main API feed
