#33One of the linked articles said it boiled down to X being ordered to censor political opponents of those in power. They chose not to. I’m glad. Now, traffic is going to Bluesky. I wonder if this means that Bluesky has or will be offered the same choice. We might see what the character of that organization is by what choice they make.
Did you miss the whole part where these "policial opponents" attempted a coup against the democratically elected president?
Everyone has a right to speech, even those you disagree with politically.

The spread of lies or false information has always been the price the pay in order to have free speech. It is the task of the individuals in free societies to discern the lies from the truth, or at least to choose their tools in doing so. You’re lying to yourself if you believe you can have real human free speech with a system capable of censoring all lies.
Yes but once people mess up and choose the wrong thing it’s very hard to go back. There are plenty of examples of countries where bad actors have taken over all institutions and what then? There are not takesies backsies

Elon musk was happy to allow government “censorship” it turkey India and other countries where it aligned with his views.

It’s not as easy to ban.

#38I’ve started using it again recently and find it’s improved massively. I can find all the people I want to follow and my feed is much nicer. I see no reason to go back to Twitter.

Because people lie about what the lies are, without fail. As soon as any "misinformation" rule becomes a thing, it is already being abused by liars.
Liars do not need rule to abuse. They will first manipulate society and crate rules if needed afterwards. That is the nature of populism.
I have no idea why you’re being downvoted. We’ve seen this play out multiple times

#40It saddens me the Brasil banned X because of racism, anti-semitism and hate-speech. But X is still not banned in the west. At some point we have to come to this realization in the west that absolutism is never the answer. Free speech is good upto certain extent, the way it was at Twitter before the rich and powerful took over. Moreover, it is content moderation and it doesn't have anything to do with free speech.
> Free speech is good upto certain extent Up to the extent that you agree with it?
Works for free speech absolutist Elon Musk?
