What’s wrong with following the law? The article you linked states that Twitter used to not follow the law. Now it does. I’m happy with the speech laws in my country, and full compliance is all I want from a messaging layer.

Because in many countries e.g. China the laws are more about ensuring companies toe the government line.

So you can't argue that X cares more about free speech than Twitter when they aren't willing to fight those laws through the judicial system. As always judge people on their actions not their words.

"Non-conservatives" who just want "uncensored information" struggle to process factual information. This is all fake news because Musk said so—and since he personifies the uncensored truth, how can one not trust him? A vicious circle.
