Buying Twitter to empower authoritarians and dictators
Despite Elon Musk’s pretensions over buying Twitter.com to save “free speech” in the US, the only notable and major difference since Twitter became X.com is that the voices of authoritarians and dictators have become much more frequent on the site. Elon Musk seems to be doing well on the rubbing-shoulders-with-authoritarians front. …

Twitter has a history of not cooperating with the Maltese police regarding information requests
Twitter has a history of non-compliance with requests made to it by the Maltese police over information about its users. Requests increased in 2018. Interestingly, X.com is publishing its transparency reports in a different format since it was taken over by Elon Musk, and their latest transparency report indicates that X.com has received various requests…

X’s CEO says they are protecting freedom of speech around the world, so it’s good to know whether they are collaborating with the Maltese police
X’s (x.com) CEO, Linda Yaccarino said that they are “protecting free speech around the world” as she retweeted a company announcement about a court case they fought in a Turkish court against government censorship. It is positive to see X.com’s proactive stance in challenging the Turkish government’s censorship, so it may also be good to…

Coincidentally, Robert Abela loves Alex Borg’s PN Faction and wants to censor Manuel Delia for calling Franco Debono a “tumor”
More tumors are coming your way, as coincidentally, Prime Minister Robert Abela has given PN the advice to include Franco Debono in its politics following with a condemnation and call for censure and prosecution of Manuel Delia for calling Franco Debono a “tumor”. If by now it’s not obvious to you that a PN faction…

The Franco Debono effect: a genuine hatred for journalists and free speech
Franco Debono and Alex Borg love gaslighting journalists and critics as “hateful figures” when in fact, all they are doing is fomenting hatred against journalists and free speech. I’ve received a lot of abuse from Adrian Delia’s supporters during the past few days, and I’m not going to bother to upload it, but here is…

Franco Debono wants the police to take criminal action against Manuel Delia for calling him a “tumor”
Tumors will tumor. Who would have known? The depraved narcissistic insanity of Franco Debono has no bounds, and now, he wants the Police to prosecute Manuel Delia for having called him a “tumor”. “Patti chiari amicizia lungha.” he says, somehow threateningly to anyone who intends to call him “tumor”. Franco Debono wants to get back…

You can burn a Koran in Malta but you can’t in Denmark
Europe is becoming ever stranger as it keeps capitulating to foreign threats of war and now even terror. There used to be a precedent enshrined in for policy since 9/11 that nation-states should never compromise or appease terror. Denmark is dropping this uncompromising stance as it bans the burning of the Koran following security concerns.…

They demand respect like typical authoritarian figures
Labour politicians demand respect from you. They ask you not to insult them and that they won’t engage with anyone who does. Don’t trust them and don’t give them any respect. Respect is earned and not demanded. Any politician who writes this kind of stuff has serious narcissistic delusions. This is also why Labour wants…

A new reform against free speech
Yorgen Fenech’s bitch is out at it again, proposing laws to curb free speech. This time around, Edward ?ammit Lewis wants to abolish Parliamentary Privilege – the right of MPs to say anything they want in the House without fear of being reprimanded legally. Nothing surpising here. Robert Abela is conducting one of the strongest…

MaltaToday is being used as a prop for the government
I have many friends at MaltaToday and I’m also friends with Saviour Balzan, although I doubt he will appreciate my friendship after this article. Readers are however asking me why my story on the magistrate inquiry being concluded is running contrary to MaltaToday’s. Well, it’s obvious what is going on, and since Matthew Vella has…

Gordon Manche and Owen Bonnici are in agreement on the right to insult
I’m not usually fond of giving this dangerous fanatic any coverage, but this is very interesting given that Gordon Manche is saying the exact same thing as Owen Bonnici and the Labour government on the right to insult. Manche is saying that insult is illegal in Malta, a sin, and also leads to violent provocation.…

Mark-Anthony Sammut proposes the decriminalisation of insult
Incredible how things change and the tables turn. Opposition MP, Mark Anthony Sammut, yesterday, made a speech in parliament in favour of free speech and proposed the removal of the act of insult from the criminal code and the Electronic Communications Act. He is saying what the Labour Party should say and do. The Labour…
