Former CEO of Reddit, Yishan Wong, made statements about Elon Musk, who wanted to buy Twitter’s shares. According to Wong, Musk “doesn’t understand what the internet culture has changed since 2004.”
Wong said in a statement, “If Elon takes over Twitter, he enters a world of pain. He has no idea.” In general, Wong thinks that Elon Musk is lagging behind in today’s internet culture and that if he takes over Twitter, he will not realize that the freedom of expression that exists on Twitter now and the freedom of expression in his time are completely different.
Wong: “Freedom of expression on the old internet is not the same as freedom of expression on Twitter now”
Wong’s statement, like billionaire Elon Musk, is culturally very Stating that Elon Musk belongs to the X generation and that that generation was raised in a different, softer world, Wong states that the concept of “freedom of expression” has a different meaning in the X generation.
Wong’s The important parts of his statement are as follows: “This is not the Old Internet, that politically correct internet culture is no longer there. In the internet culture that started with Web 1.0 at the end of the 90s, for example, porn was banned, like Mortal Kombat. brutal content was censored in games. What people saw as freedom of expression was to fight them. In the internet culture of their time, internet freedom represented a new opportunity, technology and optimism.”
But we all know that today’s Twitter, and even all social media, is no longer free speech. Now, people just try to impose their own ideas on others, when they can’t convince them, they identify the other as the enemy and call it ‘freedom of expression’. In Wong’s opinion, if Elon Musk gets into this mess, he could put himself in a very bad situation and be unable to cope. Please do not forget to express your thoughts in the comments.
