Putting aside the doubt.jpg, having the supposed "least" when the opposition is YouTube, Google, Facebook and Instagram isn't exactly a high hurdle. In fact, there's quite a bit of room there to get away with quite a lot of censorship in fact.
Like yeah, be as transparent as possible, but I still don't trust the company to tell the truth, even about this. What's to stop them from only publishing some of the censorship requests? Nothing, that's what.
And I think it's premature. I'd be happy to be wrong, but I won't be celebrating without evidence that this is a worthwhile step and not a misdirection where some requests are shown and the more serious ones are kept quiet, where the public think they're getting the truth and grow complacent with what is a lie by omission.
Maybe I'm too doomer. Maybe it's because I have no attachment to that terrible fucking site. But I'm not going to simply listen and believe, and certainly not Musk when I've barely trusted him at all in the past.

it's a step in the right direction, we are allowed to be a little happy about events in the world.
