Twitter Censorship Increases Under Elon Musk’s Leadership, Study Finds
Censorship on Twitter has increased under the ownership of Elon Musk, to levels well above those of the previous regime, according to a bombshell new study from the Media Research Center.
The report comes despite public statements from Musk that he would run the platform as a haven for free expression.
The conservative media watchdog group recorded 293 cases of “documented censorship” between November 4 and March 4, a time when Musk first took the reins of Twitter and began mass layoffs.
Musk purchased Twitter in October 2022.
That’s a nearly 30% increase compared to the same period a year earlier, when 226 documented cases were recorded, the study found, citing data from CensorTrack.org. Many of the censorship actions, about 62% of them, “involved tweets critical of the left’s transgender narrative.”
The New York Post itself was even briefly locked out of Twitter on Thursday (March 30).
