The extreme antibody reaction from those who fear free speech says it all
By “free speech”, I simply mean that which matches the law. I am against censorship that goes far beyond the law. If people want less free speech, they will ask government to pass laws to that effect. Therefore, going beyond the law is contrary to the will of the people.
@elonmusk Freedom of speech has consequences, and those consequences are different to censorship
@elonmusk So what you're saying is you won't allow people on the platform who have used it to attempt to violently overthrow the government, I.E. Donald Trump, leading to the death of multiple police officers? Or, do you think it's acceptable to use Twitter to call for violence?

@elonmusk Will different countries see different "Twitters" then?
@elonmusk what would you say about the moral side of this? should governments be assumed to be in the right here? governmental definitions of permitted speech runt the gamut and many include suppressing dissent and censorship.
@elonmusk Does this mean, you support the removal of hate speech on Twitter, or do you even want to enforce it more effectively than Twitter does at the moment?
@elonmusk If Twitter bans criticism of a government because that government has laws outlawing such criticism, that matches the law but it definitely is not free speech.
