The philosopher Voltaire did not say: "To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize." It was said by the neo-Nazi Kevin Alfred Strom in 1993. https://www.reuters.com/article/fact-check/to-learn-who-rules-over-you-quote-wrongly-attributed-to-voltaire-idUSL1N2UE2LM/ https://apnews.com/article/fact-checking-872903898775 https://www.forbes.com/sites/mattnovak/2023/05/27/elon-musk-shares-fake-voltaire-quote-actually-from-neo-nazi/ https://factcheck.afp.com/quote-about-censorship-falsely-attributed-voltaire

Original Tweet

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1816213570125762813

Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
