People fail to understand that nothing is static. One minute you’re in, the other minute you’re out.

What was PC today may not be PC tomorrow depending on dynamics.

They don’t understand the same forces they want to use to muzzle someone today can become the force that muzzles them tomorrow.

They like Jack censoring twitter only because he aligns with them. They don’t like Mark right now because he doesn’t 100% align with them.

They don’t care one whit about data retention and third party selling, etc. all they care about is “are you aligned with my narrative today?”

This is why Free Speech is so important. Regardless of how inappropriate someone's speech is, or may seem in the present context, they should be allowed to express it as long as they are not directly inciting violence/hate. Not all countries have this Right so let's take a second to appreciate that.
