Elon Musk is once again exposed to be an enemy of true free speech with his latest action of censoring voices who are against the fascist right and report their criminal activity

Several left-wing activists on Twitter have been suspended from the platform after far-right users launched a false-report campaign.
Prominent left-wing accounts have been banned from Twitter since Musk's takeover, the Intercept reported first. This includes Chad Loder, an anti-fascist researcher who identified a Proud Boy member involved in the US Capitol Riots on January 6 2021; Vishal Pratap Singh, a journalist who has reported on far-right protests in Southern California; Elm Fork John Brown Gun Club, a group that provides armed security for LGBTQ+ events in Texas; and CrimethInc, an anarchist organization that publishes books and podcasts.
Loder told Insider that they suspects their account was suspended because of an "organized mass reporting campaign" against left-wing Twitter users coordinated by a right-wing group called Zanting. The group published detailed instructions on a Substack blog on how to falsely report people along with a list of accounts which included Loder's profile at the top.
Loder shared screenshots with Insider of messages on Telegram channels — with thousands of followers including Proud Boys and QAnon believers — celebrating Loder's suspension from the platform.
Senior members of Twitter's trust and safety team were aware of the list and the false reporting campaign against Loder — which is a violation of Twitter's policies against platform manipulation — and had plans to address it. However, key members of the team have now quit or were fired including executives Vijaya Gadde and Yoel Roth.
