Andreessen: Substack And Elon Musk's Twitter Takeover Broke The Social Media Censorship Dynamic

_{//politics-government.news-articles.net/content/ .. r-broke-the-social-media-censorship-dynamic.html}
^{Published in Politics and Government on Monday, January 27th 2025 at 13:20 GMT by RealClearPolitics}

Tech founder Marc Andreessen explained how the U.S. government's social media censorship scheme came to an end during an appearance on the Lex Fridman podcast. You can watch the full interview below this selected transcript: LEX FRIDMAN: You are a good person to speak about the history of this because you were there on the ground floor.

The article from RealClearPolitics discusses how Marc Andreessen, a prominent venture capitalist, believes that the combination of Substack and Elon Musk's acquisition of Twitter has significantly disrupted the traditional dynamics of social media censorship. Andreessen highlights that Substack, a platform for independent writers, has provided an alternative for content creators to bypass the censorship often encountered on mainstream social media platforms. He argues that Twitter, under Musk's leadership, has shifted towards promoting free speech, which contrasts with the previous management's approach to content moderation. This shift, according to Andreessen, has broken the monopoly of large tech companies on narrative control, allowing for a more diverse range of voices and viewpoints to be heard, thereby challenging the established norms of content suppression and moderation on social media.
