Recent revelations by Grok suggest anti-Zionist content is being massively suppressed.

Elon Musk, the owner of X - who also happens to be the world's richest oligarch, a major war contractor, a
WEF-co-opted globalist wannabe "anti"-globalist, and a self-declared
"free speech absolutist" - has claimed that his platform
"strives to be the town square of the internet by promoting and protecting freedom of expression."But that, alas, is entirely untrue. In reality, Musk is a man of strong opinions: Not merely an uber-capitalist, he is also a very right-wing libertarian full of odd anxieties strong enough to produce plenty of posts about Whites and their
"civilization" disappearing and, when in a really good mood, a greeting
that looks like a perfect imitation of a fascist salute. That would all be bad enough.
But Musk has also taken to promoting people he personally likes politically and culturally, for instance those glorifying, lobbying and making excuses for Israel.If this is a
"town square," then it's one where you need a mic to be heard, and
that mic is under the control of a biased and overbearing mayor and his buddies. Or, as Musk's own team has put it, X users have "freedom of speech but not of reach."On the other hand, the platform also systematically suppressed whatever - and whoever - the owner does not like. Much - but by no means all - of this de facto censorship is imposed by what X itself has euphemistically described as
"a more reasonable, proportionate and effective moderation process," that is, often by massive demotion (deboosting) rather than direct banning. If you say things that Musk, his ideological chums, his business partners and his financiers do not like, X is less likely to just kick you out - although that option is always there, too - than to quietly put you in a tight, soundproof box.
You may think you are speaking to others, but X makes sure your voice reaches almost no one. Let freedom ring! But in silent mode, please.
