Like when Elon started taking down a ton of posts at the behest of the Indian and Turkish governments? Or when he said "comedy is now legal on Twitter" and then suspended parody accounts? Or when he suspended accounts that tweeted public information for "doxxing" and then asked his 100m+ followers to identify someone in a video? Or when he banned people for posting links to competing social networks? Or when he made searches for "substack" return results for "newsletter"?

It's exhausting to have to reiterate this constantly growing list every time this comes up. Free speech doesn't have to exist on private platforms and that's okay! We can stop pretending he cares about it!

So your concern is not freedom of speech, it's that the speech is being regulated in a way you don't want?
I don’t really have a concern. I’m just telling you that whatever’s happening over at Twitter? It’s not freedom of speech.
