    I could be wrong but doesn’t this boil down to how the internet as a whole is used as in it’s not the fault of the isp/website what the users do

    So would elon accept responsibility for terrorists organizing on his site?

      Just my two cents, he’s a textbook narcissist. Would he accept responsibility, no. Is his ego so big he thinks he can actually start WWIII and nuclear armageddon, absolutely. Add a dose of kompromat et vois la, Elon Musk is now sympathetic to Russia.

      I mean, wasn’t that the whole point of him purchasing Twitter, for domestic terrorist organizations’ benefit?

      Yes and no. This is specifically about one man who runs a company making a tactical military move at a precise time that was designed to hurt one country and help another. In other words, he just became an active combatant. The fact that he was willing to make such a move shows a clear lack of foresight.

      What you suggested is what most ISPs do: they make general decisions about what clients they are willing to do business with, and after that it is left to each client. This is what Elon probably should have done, if he were thinking medium-term. But he didn’t, so now all the major militaries around the world (including the U.S.) are rethinking how they want to deal with him and his company.

        Keep specifically in mind. He deliberately disabled starlink over Ukraine , to protect Russian assets invading Ukraine. There is 0 Reason why any part of Ukraine is denied coverage.
