“Went viral” is an old stock phrase in journalism that really does not capture the dynamic of how X dot Com has been tuned to give people like the one specific legislator here the power to intentionally cause this kind of outcome
Texas A&M University will not reinstate a lecturer who was fired after a video of her teaching about gender identity in a children’s literature class went viral, despite a faculty appeals panel unanimously concluding that her dismissal was not justified.
Texas A&M won’t reinstate fired lecturer despite findings
A vice chancellor upheld the firing of Melissa McCoul, seen in a viral video being confronted by a student on her gender identity teachings, saying the termination was done with “good cause.”

It's been there all the time with Putin. Revanchism is, apart from theft, one of Putin's big motivators. We could have stopped it, or prepared for it, already then. But no, 20 years of forced forgetfulness of history followed with maybe the worst generation of leaders ever.
Christmas came early to the Russia scholars with Santa declassifying the Bush-Putin meeting transcripts.
That's 2001. Ukraine is Russian land, simply given away for no reason, as if USSR had not collapsed and there was no Ukraine independence referendum. And, long before the 2008 Bucharest Summit

I don't think the claim is puritanical, to be honest. X is a digital platform built on network effects, so every user who posts there creates a negative externality by amplifying its owner, who is openly hostile to democratic rule and the Western liberal order.
I’m not going to argue that anyone still using X is an enabler/collaborator. The claim is puritanical. I abandoned X about a year ago and will never go back. But I’m not a vegan.
I wish academic bsky was more like ac twitter of a decade ago. But that version of the internet is (maybe forever) dead.

It is a surreal spectacle: Palestinians, many displaced from their bombed-out homes, malnourished, sick and jobless, being sold the iPhone 17 Pro. That such luxury items are in supply, but often food or medicine are still scarce, is exasperating aid workers and Palestinians.

His mission has not changed, but they have.
After Musk took over Twitter he unsuccessfully sued Ahmed for documenting the increase in online hate. Now the Trump admin is enabling Musk's censorship.

People like Musk and RFK Jr. are entirely fine with the use of government power to shut down actors who are drawing attention to their conspiracy theories and promotion of hate. And in the same breath present themselves as defending free speech.
