I think banning any network that allows citizens to air their views, whatever they may be, is very dangerous. Free speech that is free of control is essential.

I also think that anyone, especially someone prone to childish tantrums like Musk, having unquestionable control of a major network on which citizens can air their views, is also very dangerous. Free speech that is free of control is essential.

Twitter isn’t a network where anyone can air their views. Elon regularly takes punitive action to mark links that criticize him as containing malware, has accounts banned that post evidence of his misdeeds, etc.

We have a network where you can post what you want to say. It’s called the World Wide Web.

This is one angle. But X is more a mouth piece for its ketamine soaked owner who has some pretty nasty views.

Plenty of places to share your view. At least, anyone can create a webpage.

Agreed; I wouldn't consider X a public free-speech forum anymore.
