The UN is making a false proposition: as if Elon somehow does not care about human rights, when all that he is currently doing is restructuring the company.
The services of Twitter are still accessible to all; Elon has not curtailed freedom of speech in any way, nor goaded against human rights in any way.
What I see is some people internally asking their friends in high places in the UN to speak out, because they lost their job... as if that were a human rights violation.

I don't think the people fired necessarily had "friends in high places", first people to go that made the news was the AI ethics team, and obviously is a red flag, on a global multi million user platform like Twitter when ethics are compromised additionally to comments from Elon on removing censoring

This conversation continues to be one-sided. I certainly don't hear anyone floating the consideration that maybe, just maybe, the work that the AI ethics team was doing was not actually in line with the connotation attached to the title.
I realize this is going to be hard for a lot of hardcore twits to understand, but maybe that precious platform has long since been corrupted through one-sided views leading to very ineffective ethics policing.
This situation is turning out no different than a number of the major police incidents in the recent years where the public had their judgment and trial finished before the prosecutor even had charges filed.
Conversations like these should probably be stowed for awhile until he has time to see whatever his intentions through a bit. I realize that the intent may be completely ill here. One thing that is unarguable though, is that it's way too soon to know either way.
So I can comfortably sit back and laugh at all of these people projecting their hate of the takeover with their blatantly one-sided personality. I struggle to understand why so many give so much of a fuck anyhow. It baffles me how so many people want to dump so much of their existence into social media platforms anyhow. They are literally tools of the very billionaires they say they hate.

Reddit granted and LinkedIn because kinda of a necessity for jobs
