Twitter Files

Twitter is a social media platform that lets the whole world have a big conversation. Elon Musk recently bought twitter and became the director of the company. 
Twitter has been wrestling with the fine line of 'censorship' and  'freedom of Speech' for at least ten years now. Censorship is very important; not too long ago I saw this guy eat a ghost-chilli as an internet challenge. Ghost-chillis are bred to be very concentrated with capsaicin so you could cut it into 8 pieces and the pieces would make 8 pots of stew very spicy. They were not intended to be eaten like berries. Those sort of things should be censored because people may copy it and cause harm to themselves. The other thing that should be censored is defamation, if people lie about a company and cause some of the employees to lose their jobs, things like that. 
In recent days Elon Musk has been exposing the abuse of censorship. They were using Censorship to silence people they didn't like and to cover up scandal. I don't know how far this tunnel goes but it is already very dark. He has been digging deep into the company records. 

He has coined the term Twitter Files.
