I agree with this sentiment. His tweet was quite disingenuous and it doesn’t help that he’s tagging Musk and Vance. The noise they make about free speech is a charade.

I still can’t understand why these tech CEOs are doing so many cynical things even in places where they have the chance to start healthy debate.

It’s so frustrating.

Community notes typically kicks in after the tweet has already gone insanely viral. It’s not useless, but I wonder about its effectiveness.

I see your point about free speech but I think it has to be more nuanced. For example, where has continuing stupid anti vaxer debate left the Americans?

I think the upside is drawing a line in the sand now before they tighten requests any further and (maybe) not losing the revenue from some genuinely illegal pirating services that use them.

I suspect Intel will in the future have separate processors which can less painfully take advantage of more decoders, perhaps with a restricted instruction set?

+1 on this. Trying to get back that hacker velocity that doing professional software engineering seems to put a drag on.

Anyone watching this would agree the question here isn't whether or not Zuck has a principle around it but rather whether that principle is 'good' for the future. Their perspectives here are clearly different.
