“What has now become clear is that Musk’s vision of speech on X is one of the greatest dangers to democracy, especially leading into the 2024 elections… I worked with a small trust and safety team at Twitter during the last election. We were one of the last defenses to American democracy leading up to the Jan. 6, 2021 mob attack on Congress… It’s time to stop using X and participating in Musk’s immoral and dangerous failing free speech experiment.”

This article is interesting, considering Musk has repeatedly acquiesced to governments and removed content deemed as “illegal” in certain countries, approving ~83% of government requests to restrict or block content (e.g. India, Turkey).

It’s also interesting because I’m sure this author would be appalled at the existence of true free speech that exists on #nostr

Sticky speech.,

Speech is evolving..

The Hill? Please stop.

Speech has been evolving since the dawn of evolution.

This does not mean we need 'safety and trust teams'.

Yes, authoritarian regimes censor.

But you can't justify criticism of your former employer who fired you for the exact reason that you are criticizing (arbitrary censorship.)

That is hypocrisy.
