Yes, that’s fair and I’m using colloquial shorthand on mobile.

What I mean to say is that I support a company freely choosing to adopt a content moderation policy that aligns as closely as possible to the US 1st Amendment.

I think the US 1st Amendment is among (if not the) strongest free speech laws in the world, and it would be beneficial to society to have a major social media platform adopt that ideal as their North Star.

It sure was. I’ve been on HN for more than 10 years with my real name.

I know it sounds silly that I’d use a throwaway to say I want to work for Twitter now.

But if I do end up working there I have a feeling some in my network may not be so happy about this. I’d have to come to terms with that and plan some things out.

Maybe I’m overreacting, maybe not. But it’s on my mind these days when I say I support free speech within the confines of existing US law.

I plan on applying to work for Twitter now that it supports free speech.

I’d like to think I can provide a net positive to the org with 15 years experience as a developer, founder and CTO.

Maybe it’ll end up being a net zero brain swap.
