If anyone wants freedom of speech then they should be using open platforms, not corporate controlled ones.

I have no idea why anyone allowed twitter to ever have as much influence as they do.

In what world is a targeted harassment campaign considered "freedom of speech"?

And why do you care so much about the harassers, yet offer nothing for those who's speech is silenced because they are harassed off the platform? Do those people not matter?

Who decides where that line is drawn?
