I suspect @elonmusk bought Twitter mainly because the pendulum had swung too far in one direction. The previous regime was too ideological and untrustworthy. They traded long term cultural stability and healthy discourse for short term political power by silencing their enemies. — PolitiTweet.org

First, free speech. The basic principle here is that anything goes, unless it’s illegal or literally putting someone in physical danger. This policy would protect a lot of ugly and unreasonable speech. So be it. No central authority at this scale should police speech. — PolitiTweet.org

No need to elaborate on why free speech is important — others have hashed that out long before us. But this part from Hayek has stuck with me since high school. Many solutions to our current problems are probably outside the Overton window today. https://t.co/upVfO6AWyX — PolitiTweet.org
