There's been an attempt to seize ownership of the term free speech and to use it as a weapon against the people.  

That's despite it being considered as a  key pillar of democratic society.

Free Speech is under threat as it gets hijacked and adopted as a sub brand of platforms such as X, which consumers are being told are the only places where free speech can flourish. This is definitely a rather dark deception designed to tighten the grip on what information people consume and can spread, under the tools of the much hyped algorithms. 

There are often repeated claims on  X that it is now the #1 source for news and the only safe place for free speech to flourish. But it's a deception being played on unwitting consumers who haven't realised they are being played. 

They're led to believe that they are now being heard by typing their thoughts directly on to platforms such as  X .but many  end up talking to themselves, or like-minded friends if they're lucky, in echo chambers.

"People are  being drugged by the impression they have a voice- but they don't because their voices won't be heard unless the algorithmic wind blows in their direction". 

How can calling for the shut-down of legacy media and it's multiple sources of information benefit fairer free speech if you are then left with highly controlled algorithmic platforms such as X or Truth Social?

Jason says "The genesis of a future campaign came about  in early 2025 when i switched on the radio one morning to learn that Elon Musk was in the thick of commenting on British child grooming gangs. Considering his background and known field of expertise, I felt this was a little odd. An  initial sift through X's Tweets soon revealed that highly emotive issues such as child protection were being knitted together with other themes coinciding with Trump's MAGA agenda such as the deportation of  illegal immigrants.

 Comments on X  tried to smear the largely Pakistani community where the scandal emerged as  criminals and illegal immigrants. Further digging saw attempts to pin the poor response to such a  crisis on British Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer. There was a sea of fake accusations and calls to replace him seemingly driven by coordinated X accounts trying to incite Britain into some sort of civil unrest to force change in the UK's elected governance.  

Jason became consumed by what he was reading on X and started to feel he should add to the 'shouty noise' on this platform by rebuking certain posts in a guerilla-war-like way only to observe his ammunition kept on reducing its impact to that of a water pistol, and confined to his own personal echo chamber and a few algorithms for good measure.  It didn't add up because his similar posts on a less well established  account on Threads platform were showing a very different reach. He was experiencing  algorithmic suppression. He also noticed an odd phenomenon that is still around at the start of2026. Any interaction that might appear to be happening was created by  accounts seemingly related to Elon Musk in some way, whether his children, mother or his enterprises including Tesla. Any negative critiques received likes though these phantom accounts woud be full of more positive comments that these accounts retweet automatically but post nothing else of their own. This phenomenon still goes unexplained;  

After a day or two of staring at aggressive posts on X it wasn't  hard to spot template-style campaigns in the names of different 'mouthpieces' around the world who receive support, sometimes financial, from Musk and often using Trump-Musk themes of immigration, crime levels and threats to women safety and rape as interconnected themes to stir the pot in many countries. 

There is quite stomach churning language and racist posts trying to antagonise and stir people against immigrants and Muslims. It was and still is, in my opinion,  a very ugly arena and not a world that appeared to exist before Trump  returned as President for a second time with MAGA soldiers and the owner of X at his side.

There's also been an extraordinary set of 'Elon mouthpiece' profiles blindly following  what some termed the 'Elon Bandwagon' driven by the hysteria being whipped up on X and seemingly allowed to flourish  without hindrance by Musk.  

In the UK, controversial characters such as Tommy Robinson started to look like  'puppet slaves' of Elon, backed financially. So called english patriots started to rally in London seemingly unaware they were likely and unwittingly  being recruited to serve a much bigger agenda being masterminded by others. 

Increasingly, immigrants are being blamed for all that is bad in the world as part of hateful narratives allowed to flourish on X. Official figures reveal the real that white British men were the biggest group of offenders perpetrating rape crimes in the UK; not immigrants as  peddled as fake truth!.
 

We are in danger of having technology now tell us news rather than letting us discover by scrolling online or flicking through the pages of a newspaper or changing news channels as we see fit,
