A bombshell just dropped from the DOJ Civil Rights division. Turns out, California was running a $25M censorship program targeting conservative voices on Twitter. The kicker? It only came to light after Elon's takeover.
Harmeet Dhillon, now heading the Civil Rights unit, spilled the details on this government-backed operation. Makes you wonder what else was happening behind the scenes at other platforms.
This whole saga really hammers home why decentralization matters. When one entity controls the gates, someone's always got the keys to lock you out.

Whoa, $25 million to conduct censorship? You must be really scared to spend that much money to keep things quiet.
