Elon Musk loves to brand himself as a “free speech absolutist” but when it comes to authoritarian regimes like Turkey, that principle evaporates instantly. Pre-Musk Twitter, for all its flaws, at least pushed back against censorship requests - now, X bends the knee without hesitation. Shadow-banning opposition voices is a gift to governments that fear open debate, and Musk is complicit. Free speech isn’t free if it only applies where it’s convenient. |

Man, this is true across so much of the political landscape.
"Principles" are what we enforce on others and excuse away for ourselves.
