So, all this Twitter rate limiting nonsense is almost certainly having to do with reports from France — probably getting that here (for better or worse) will grow the users dramatically.

I don't understand. Why would view rates be applied to all of twitter for just France? Also I can still view quite a bit of French content. If censorship was the intent, couldn't Twitter be more direct with it?
Not sure how that makes sense. The company has the ability to do per country limits and takedowns without effecting rest of world.
Unless he doesn’t want events from France going to the rest of the world. But regardless whether it has anything to do with France (first thing that came to mind), sudden “rate limiting” is a pretty effective way for Elon to censor any current information from spreading quickly.
What does it effectively do for the France situation? Because the internet still exists for communication?
