And the censors don't like being censored. Everyone is a hypocrite

my suspicion is “the censors” are highlighting how elons actions are proving in real time that they’ve been correct all along: that the “free speech absolutist” position has always been detached from reality.

he is, as we speak—and will continue to prove in the future—that “the censors” have been correct all along, social spaces of a certain number of people, if you don’t want the visitors to flee en masse, will need moderation to keep things from breaking down.

Lets first speak about the present and present shows that all the comments about censorship were correct.

The outcry is real. Many many bot networks create massive amounts of cry content.

"richest man in the world" and "free speech advocate" are two ideologies in direct conflict with one another

substitute "richest" for "most powerful" and it gets worse

I don't think either of these are ideologies, and if they were, I'm pretty sure they do not necessarily conflict.

I guess it is just a numbers game, but this whole page is one of the more unintelligent threads on HN I have ever seen.
