Crazy since, during the WEF’s Davos conference, everybody and their mother are criticizing the World Economic Forum—and in far more unflattering terms than I’ve used. I don’t do sensationalism. I did, however, put some humor into it.
People advise me to “be careful.” Don’t say anything that will get me thrown off Twitter. What? Has everyone forgotten the meaning of free speech or what it means to fight for freedom—it isn’t supposed to be easy!
Twitter seems to be free as long as you do not criticize the despot who owns it.
Oh, and I just criticized Alex Berenson in Media Wars, a new darling of Twitter. This guy went back on his promise to his followers and took a deal after promising those who gave their hard-earned money for his court case that he would NOT take a deal.
Does nobody know what it means to give your word anymore?
I’m not a confrontational person. I’m a martial artist—old school. I believe in fighting only as a last resort. Speaking with clarity should be enough. My entire life I have stood up against seemingly insurmountable odds and spoken the truth. I’m not about to stop now.
Thank you for reading and sharing!

What would a "free speech" site look like whose secret goal was to "deamplify" troublemakers? Substack? Twitter? Surely, our misinformation minders have considered this question.
Well, this is disappointing, to say the least. Also makes me angry.
I posted your essay on GETTR. It’s there. They didn’t censor. It even got a “Like” and a comment, that read, “Where’s an avalanche when you need one?” Charlie Kirk posted a derogatory comment about Davos. There are many others on GETTR, too. Shame on Elon + Twit staff. We believed him. My account has not been reinstated either. I’m sorry, Karen. I know GETTR is not at big as Twit, but please post there. It’s getting bigger. Thank You for your hard work. Stay the course.
P.S. Regarding Berenson, I wish Tucker would quit having him on as a guest.
I'm on GETTR @karenalainehunt. I usually try to post my essays there. Don't get much of a response but you never know who you might touch. I'm sorry about your Twitter account, too. So frustrating.
Sorry that I was not searching for your correct account name. That’s why I haven’t been able to find you. I used everything but Alaine. 🤦🏻♀️ Glad to know now. I don’t get very many responses either, but once in a while someone reads a posted article…. Onward Soldier! 👍
I posted your essay on twitter & gettr. I don’t get many likes with my stuff. The traffic & algorithm is just another example of NO freedom because they control it.
I’m also kicked off Twitter. Couldn’t figure out Gab so Getter is where I landed. I repost almost all your articles there 💥keep writing karen we will do our part spreading your message
Oh no. I just checked and I got through. A couple of people sent me coffees today so not sure what's going on. There's always something! Thank you,🌷 maybe try again and see.
Elon paid 44 Billion for a PSYOPS program, not a free speech platform. He could start one of those for a few million easily. So can anyone else who wants to put him out of business.
Having been “grounded” on Twitter X3, I finally figured out that it’s not what I’m saying in my tweets, it’s specific words the algorithm picks up. I LOVE the word, “idiot,” but it gets me the silly “Most Tweeters don’t say things like this,” warning. Hence, I have to wonder if the algo was triggered by the word, “Lunatic?”
IOW, I don’t think it’s personal, but I do wish they would publish the “trigger” words.
Haha, I am not crazy about tweeting but unfortunately, for writers, it's pretty important if you want your work to get out there. I've also met many wonderful people on Twitter so it's not all bad. But Musk is not our friend.

Yes, the free speech claims are quite deceptive.

Wow!! And almost everyone was happy because they said or think he challenged them today 🤦♀️the love for Elon is getting ridiculous https://twitter.com/foxnews/status/1616010097825652736?s=46&t=2LDIvxJv-N5ki1tXYB5RrQ
The cult of Elon. 🤮
He still hasn’t reinstated my account despite his hollow promises. They were just for a select few it would seem.
Crazy that people still think he’s some saviour.
Speak loudly and proudly Karen. We all must.
So many people bumped off Twitter. Yes, I will keep speaking out. Nothing will stop me. Thanks for the encouragement 🙏
You are a powerful spirit for truth. Please keep on keepin' on!
I tried to send you well deserved coffees but the Ko-Fi system would not work!

No surprise at all. Smoke and Mirrors. You speak the truth - they do not like it!! Onward Christian Soldier. You are a light in the darkness.
