The social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, received criticism from researchers after it labeled a link by the investigative journalism group Bellingcat about Russia’s attack on a children’s hospital in Kyiv as “potentially spammy or unsafe.”
In their latest research, Bellingcat identified a Russian Kh-101 cruise missile that struck Ukraine’s largest children’s medical center, Okhmatdyt, during an attack on Kyiv over the weekend that killed 33 people, including 5 children.
Bellingcat’s investigation debunked claims from pro-Russian accounts that denied responsibility for the attack and “sought to shift the blame for the incident onto Ukraine,” researchers said.

Despite its reputation, X marked the link to the group’s latest research as “unsafe,” saying that it could lead users to “violent or misleading content” or to a website that misleads people, disrupts their experience, or steals their personal information.
The more i hear about twitter censoring shit the less i respect what elon has done. If he did what he said he would do great but unfortunatly i don’t see any of this free speach he allegedly loves.
Btw what was the exact link that twitter thinks is so dangerous?
An argument can be made that the vast majority of “free speech” polemics from US oligarchs are a ruse.
They couldn’t care less. They see it as a tool to manipulate plebs and promote their financial interests as well as leveraging such polemics as a cover for corruption.
With respect to Musk, it is likely a republican administration will cancel any legal proceedings against him and give him a formal “get out of jail free” card. Although some of Musk’s posturing is likely tied to his degenerate tendencies.
