That’s just the annoying American style of corruption (I say this as someone who is not American but who has lived in North America for ~10 years).

Specifically:

This is a vile lie by PC Gamer. I criticized a government official for pressuring Apple and Google to block a speech app owned by their political opponent, deplatforming 500,000,000 users on the pretense of stopping a small number of users from distributing disgusting content.

This is clear bullshit aimed at local (i.e. American) degenerates.

When Elon Musk went on a crusade against texty (a tiny Ukrainian new source), did genuine free speech believer Tim Sweeney care? Of course not, because polemics about alleged beliefs in free speech are bullshit. A comical joke (I say this from living there for 4 years).
