They're not shutting down the internet, they're showing you the door ;)

White progressives brag about twitter overthrowing brown governments. Uganda is kicking out the foreign colonizers.

They also admit to un-competitive collusion: https://archive.is/ymdye

Earlier this week, in close coordination with our peers, we suspended a number of accounts targeting the election in Uganda.

FYI this is their currently pinned tweet: https://archive.is/aGsx6

Protecting the #OpenInternet is a key objective for Twitter – it’s why we exist. There are two key areas to consider:

  1. Avoid entrenching the dominance of the biggest players by protecting competition

Every single word in that series of tweets is a lie.

Didn't the European Union also come out against the American Social Media giants recently, stating they're looking for a regional alternative?

Wouldn't surprise me if we start seeing a global restriction on international Social Media sites in favor of state-supported alternatives tailored to individual countries, regions, or nations.

They'll still be used as a tool to monitor the subjects, promote certain trends, and control speech, but with the guiding hand of internal corpofascism, rather than the Americentric brand espoused by Silicon Valley.

I like Twitter's move here. It takes balls to be this brazen in exercising your power to oppress others, while also posturing as neutral. Respekt.

According to twitter, access to twitter is a human right. Therefore, according to twitter, twitter is one of the world's greatest human rights violators.
