22. Twitter is NOT suppressing FREE SPEECH.

Mon Nov 28, 2022, 09:16 PM

Nov 2022

Free Speech is a GOVERNMENT ISSUE, not the issue of a PRIVATE platform. You can say that Twitter is "Censoring" content, but you have ZERO argument when you use the WRONG framing. Twitter, like EVERY OTHER PRIVATE PLATFORM has a right to moderate content. Has the company made mistakes? You can be absolutely sure of that. There are decisions that DU and other sites have made that not everyone agrees with when it comes to moderation. The choices of those who disagree? Accept them or leave the service, just like advertisers and many influencers have left since Musk took over Twitter.

Musk is really putting it out there that he is a complete idiot. I only hope that he crashes hard. He deserves it. Maybe Tesla, Space X, and other ventures currently under his thumb will actually improve once he is out of the way.
