Trust

Many people complained over the years that their Twitter account was censored but there was not much they could do about it because Twitter, being a private company, could not be charged with censorship. This however exploded by accident when Musk bought Twitter and discovered that various government agencies were putting pressure on Twitter to censor. The government referred to certain information as misinformation and suggested that this be banned. This included a lot of info about Covid, some of which was true but the government thought it would discourage people from getting the vax and suggested that banning would protect Americans from getting Covid. One definition of Fascism is government colluding with private business. Were from the government and we are here to help. Twitter went along with this and it was only exposed when Musk bought the company. A recent poll (Sept 2023) shows trust in government at a 70 year low with just 16% saying the trust the government at least most of the time.
