The reason I use “free speech platform” in quotes is that the primary meaning of “free speech” is political, and for platforms means that govt doesn’t control their content. But there is a secondary meaning, “the free exchange of ideas,” which Musk has been using/abusing. — PolitiTweet.org

Twitter is Musk’s private company. Politically “free speech” means he can suppress/allow whatever he wants. But to call Twitter a “free speech” platform to invoke the free exchange of ideas, and then decide who speaks via majority rule, is an insult to the free exchange of ideas — PolitiTweet.org
