This is not the streisand effect. This is demonstrating the power of literally controlling the media to a degree that even rupert murdock gets envious of.

Shit like this? The trump story (that was never going to get traction) is irrelevant. What is relevant is musk and his handlers advertising what twitter can do and how long twitter is willing to “hold out” to regulation attempts.
It is the same logic behind apple making it clear they will resist information requests until there is a court order or Proton outright telling its users what it will and won’t give law enforcement and governments. Except this is marketing toward those governments, not the users.
