As soon as he has to deal with 😬 content that's not actually illegal, my guess is he'll tire of the details and task subordinates to figure it out. Cue frustrated attempts to tell Musk "we actually had a way to deal with this before..." making Twitter a v. hard place to work. — PolitiTweet.org

Sounds like Twitter could soon stop moderating all content that isn't plainly or explicitly illegal, based on this interpretation https://t.co/mQKk4hIhl5 — PolitiTweet.org

By buying Twitter, Musk has suddenly collapsed all these threads into one, right as policymakers and the courts are poised to make some very big decisions about tech platforms. We're at a turning point, and in classic fashion, Musk leaping in blows it up. https://t.co/yoyr9JQDf7 — PolitiTweet.org

Part of why the Twitter thing feels like such a big deal is because it directly embodies several unresolved societal dialogues: About the power of billionaires, how tech should be regulated, and what voluntary expectations should govern digital speech https://t.co/yoyr9JQDf7 — PolitiTweet.org

Instead, Musk would prefer that all the hard cases be resolved by applying the easy rubric of "does someone hate this speech? Then it must be free!" Which is an enormous oversimplification of the realities of speech. — PolitiTweet.org

There are legions of academics and advocates and lawyers who are expert in the complexities of speech and speech moderation, and Musk is riffing as if he's engaging on these hypotheticals for the first time and lands on the cop-out, "I'm not saying we have all the answers." — PolitiTweet.org

Listening back, it's striking how little Musk seems to have thought about the hard cases on speech. His suggestions basically amount to 1) non-promotion of controversial tweets and 2) more use of temporary suspensions, which are tweaks by degree, not "civilizational" change. — PolitiTweet.org
