yea, that too - freedom of expression cannot lie in the hands of one person or several people.

I've always wondered why Elon has always had a complete opposite take from within US and from outside US. Within US, its regardless of gov. Outside US, its by the laws set by the govts/policy makers . And majority of twitter users ~70% are from outside of the US

But having said that, what guarantee is there that a leader from the US wont play by Xi's rule book and offer goodies in exchange for suppression if this card is on the table. It can happen anywhere

None of those platforms will ever deliver on free speech promises. They just can’t. It’s not even Elon’s fault. Though he probably doesn’t help himself by pretending he can create something that is impossible.

Well, I think he's notably unprincipled, here. Especially given his pronouncements of "free speech absolutism".

Well, the main reason appears to be because he's simping for the populist right.
