Elon isn’t. X is.
I did answer your question. Last paragraph.

The Turkish government has legal authority over companies that are serving their citizens.
Why do you think the GDPR laws were such a big deal even outside of the UK?
That’s fine if they’re true - I have no idea who this woman is or what she’s done. All I know is that she is a prosecutor so is qualified for the job of prosecutor.
It absolutely does when you’re running a business.
Companies operating in a country need to follow that countries laws, or they can’t operate in that country. Fact.
Why do you think the GDPR laws were such a big deal worldwide?
Yes, Rob Schneider is an actor. He is perfectly qualified to be hired in an acting role, just like how this prosecutor is perfectly qualified to be hired in a prosecutor role.
So your position is that X aren’t challenging the censorship request in court?
That’s one hill to die on I guess.
The X post is from the other day, not March.
You don’t seem to understand how the legal system and governments work.
They issued a legal request to censor his account in Turkey. Failure to do so would result in severe consequences for X, such as having to take X offline for all of Turkey.
X complied with the law and are challenging the censorship request in court, the only place that has the power to overrule the government.
Criminal charges was probably the wrong word, but that’s being pedantic. The company operates in Turkey and allows Turkish people to use the product, so they have to follow Turkish laws. The Turkish government can file legal charges against them for failure to comply. Same with any fediverse instance owners - they would either have to block their instance from all Turkish users, or comply.
The context is extremely important in this one. It changes the sentiment from “Musk is censoring the political opposition because he supports the government” to “Musk complied with the legal demands so as to not have to remove X from the entire country of Turkey, and is fighting the demands in court as he says they are censorship”.
X is now notoriously law abiding, but also notorious for fighting against government ordered censorship in court. They comply with legal orders so as to not face legal trouble, and then file legal challenges - even going so far as to pay for and help with legal challenges for individuals who the government are censoring.
I’m asking who’s labor is being exploited here?
