That depends on what the purpose of the platform is, and since the owner had previously made a point of being keen on free speech, it's interesting that it's actually not being run in line with those ideals at all. We're now seeing that the carve outs from free speech include things that might reduce profit, and the reposting of public flight data.

Yeah but then no one believes in free speech. It was much worse before, and the people who are leaving Twitter were the ones (presumably) justifying that other censorship.

My perspective is that at least now it's out in the open.
