COMMENT

Binoy Kampmark: Censorship Wars, Elon Musk, Safety Commissioners And Violent Content

Platforms such as Meta and X engage in their own forms of censorship and information curation, their agenda algorithmically driven towards noise, shock and indignation. All the time, they continue to indulge in surveillance capitalism.
