Elon Musk to join Twitter’s board of directors

Those are free speech but also anonymous. In real free speech you still have to put your name to what you're saying. If you suddenly stuck everyone's real name on every single comment they wrote then it'd suddenly become a lot more civilized.

Conversely, because there are no identities, there's no way to follow specific people you agree with.

Ok, but Twitter has no such real name policy, correct? It is just a convention used by public and semi-public figures isn't it?

I believe it's required if you want the white checkmark.
