> Twitter HAS a free speech problem. This is not controversial.

Twitter has limitations on free speech, it's totally debatable if that's a problem or not.

Ok, fair point. So let's not say that "Twitter has a free speech problem".

But let's also not say that "Twitter has limitations on free speech" because it feels like a misleading euphemism. Free speech is not a spectrum. You either have it or not.

How about we just say that "Twitter doesn't have free speech".

And yes, "it's totally debatable if that's a problem or not". That I agree.
