If that type of disclosure is partisan, then yeah, I guess those engaging in transparency and trying to set the record straight are guilty as charged. Which means that folks who are spinning this in an effort to try to trash the folks involved and tarnish their efforts - like you - are guilty as charged as well.

If you truly think Musk is being transparent right now, you really need another source of news. The big reveal about Twitter moderation is that people who did not know about something until now assume not knowing about it meant that it was a huge secret.

The Twitter Files is a lesson in how you can report on the deliberately-curated internal goings-on of any decent sized organization, and if you make it seem like you are breaking news, you can make even the most mundane shit seem scandalous to a receptive, conspiracy-prone audience.

This will fade like the fart in the wind that it is. It is nothing other than the latest conservative contrived scandal du jour concocted to try to create some sort of moral equivalency to their own depraved behavior. I am not even a wee bit surprised that you have been taken in by it.
