I wonder if he’d change his mind if this was someone else’s incident.

He perhaps wouldn't have. Then again, so? Incidents happening to us and our family, hit us harder, and can move us to take specific action more often, news at 11.
So free speech only counts when it doesn't affect you personally, got it.
I don't think anyone would really care about this had he not made purchasing Twitter all about trying to save us from the evil Twitter censorship demons.

Free speech only counts when it's speech, sharing opinions and such, however controversial.
Petty "I'll share your itinerary" is hardly speech, let alone opinion.
It's not doxing if it's public information. News at 11.
This incident clearly shows why there should be a firewall between owners and moderation. This is in no way a way to run any social media site.
Indeed. Which is why the golden rule used to be 'do not moderate the forum that you participate in'. That solves most of those problems.

Yes you've nailed it. Totally human to react to a personal incident. Needs to be guarded against.
