And a swastika could just be something posted by some ignorant man with a mental illness and no interest in advicating for violence yet it gets censored anyway.

I don't have a problem with Twitter banning hate symbols but I have a massive problem with the intellectual bankruptcy over this "free speech absolutism" horse shit.

The he could just be ill is indeed the likely cause. But you have to treat the ill hate the same way you treat the sane hate.

The free speech absolutist stuff never included violence he was clear about that. People were being banned for simply not being left wing. That was a huge problem and it’s stopped.

Musk himself tweeted that hate speech is free speech. The only catch was that it would be demonitized with reduced reach.

Evidentally that doesn't work on celebrities.

Posting a swastika alone is not necessarilly a call to violence like posting a confederate flag or ACAB isn't always a call to violence.

It's been more than evident that the drivers Musk's policies on moderation are commercial and personal which is well within his right.

Others are pointing out the hypocrisy of him claiming that his motivations for setting policy have been a dedication to 'free speech absolutism' which is clearly not the case.

If yourself and others the moderation policy on Twitter was too oppressive to right wing views and are happy with this new direction all I can say is good for you. But you and those same other people should come out and expressly say that instead of getting on a high horse over "free speech absolutism" when thats clearly not what you're interested in.
