You liked Russian Bots? You liked false information about Covid and vaccines that kept thousands from getting proper treatment or vaccines? You like out right lies about stolen elections that fired up an attempted coup? There is speech and there are lies and false information. Free speech only applies to the Government not putting you in jail for speaking your thoughts. Private entities are allowed to do as they wish. Unless of course you are in Florida and Ron DeSantis is your governor.
Congress is also prohibited from passing laws “abridging the freedom of speech.” What free speech means, exactly, has varied from era to era. It is noteworthy that within ten years of the Bill of Rights’ ratification, President John Adams successfully passed an act specifically written to restrict the free speech of supporters of Adams’ political opponent, Thomas Jefferson.

Oh please. Twitter is a cesspool without Elon. He’s just making it actual free speech instead of only what certain people want.
