Musk exposure: the US government interferes with all social media

Twitter CEO Musk issued a document on the 27th stating that “every” American social media company has undergone strict scrutiny under the leadership of the US government. In addition, the U.S. government sometimes issues explicit instructions to these companies. For example, Google often removes specified links in accordance with its requirements. According to a US Fox News report on the 28th, Musk said that all social media platforms cooperate with the US government to review content, and they will delete relevant content under the clear instructions of US federal agencies. According to reports, documents released by Musk after acquiring Twitter showed that Twitter cooperated with the FBI, CIA, Pentagon and other government agencies to suppress information about the US election, the situation in Ukraine and the new coronavirus infection. | Related Reading (Wall Street Insights)

Musk is really brave. The last one who was so brave was Snowden, and everyone has seen the end. Although Musk is a world-class rich man, money and fame cannot buy personal safety. There is also a reason why Musk revealed that he would never “suicide”. Now I am struggling to “pierce the window paper”, waiting for his follow-up is not so good.

In fact, some things are tacitly understood by you and me. Any government in the world that still has a little control ability will intervene in the field of public opinion. This in itself is a fundamental part of public administration. From the governance of a small company to the governance of a country, the work of public opinion is very important. Managers will seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, but some are blatant and some are high-sounding. Musk is now putting this matter on the table and exposing the problem. Under the pressure of operating Twitter in the near future, it is as if he willfully said that he bought Twitter to maintain justice and save Twitter.

However, Musk will be disappointed, and the follow-up is likely to be like Snowden’s Prism incident. Everyone was a little shocked at first, then helpless, and finally the habit gradually faded away.
