A different outlet did. The racist Lee who posted the cat thread said it was from “my neighbors daughters friend.”
A fact check org interviewed the neighbor, and she said Lee was mistaken, and it was actually “a friends acquaintance.” So yeah, right off it became way more ambiguous.
The other issue though is that in her racist tirade, Lee didn’t just mention a cat. She also said geese/ducks had gone missing from the parks, and said she confirmed that with park rangers and police. She of course had not.
Most likely these two idiots got together, her and her neighbor, and each one ginned up part of the story, maybe literally. Then Lee posted it and “inadvertently” created a dangerously racist shitshow for her city and nation.
Musk was all to happy to comply with Turkey and India to remove accounts critical of their right wing governments. His justification at the time? He has to comply with the laws of the country twitter operates in.
So odd that it he opts not do the above when its far right accounts attacking the left wing government of Brazil.
It’s almost like Musk isn’t doing this for free speech reasons at all and is just selectively censoring people.
