This X situation at its core is about ( Ethics - Identity - Income - Expression - Censorship ). With the Iran debacle going on it may seem unimportant, a few million people lost their X accounts. And there's a point there. But as a contemporary of Elon Musk's, I take strong umbrage in this situation. X or any social media platform, randomly incorrectly wrongfully suspending people's accounts has real impacts. In a way I'm actually grateful to Elon my account was suspended ( hopefully temporarily ) because it taught me a valuable lesson about the importance of my DIGITAL IDENTITY online. And going forward I'll be gravitating towards open source platforms, where I'm the author & owner of my digital identity. Nostr - Primal, looks interesting. But to my main point. As business person I see ethical behavior as fundamental. I think it's important businesses treat customers ethically & respectfully & that doesn't seem to be the case here ( is what most of the impacted users feel ). And people are being affected here. Lots of people on X have businesses attached to these accounts & they're losing income by these suspensions. Also there's an element of freedom of expression & censorship. In that a lot of people using X & other social media platforms as a means of expression be it creative or political, feel they're being silenced. I've done my part & my best to help the millions of people who lost their X accounts. Now I'll turn things over to Elon & change.org & the community at large. I'll just leave you with this. This shit ain't right.
