I got into a huge fight today with someone who believes Elon is this free speech savior. I don’t I think he is censorious just in the opposite direction And more than that .. you know, it’s his right to do that. He owns the place. Parag ran it how he wanted and now Elon can too. You’re in their house you play by their rules. It’s not offensive in either direction actually Having access to a Facebook/YouTube/Twitter/Instagram account is a nice to have It’s not some inalienable right. We lived most of our lives without these things, and you are absolutely free to go say slurs or spew anti semitism or whatever you want, on your own website or in your own home. Or I guess now, in the Elon Regime, it’s say “cisgender”

yep nazis are literally hosting 1488 radio hours on twitter spaces but you still can't use the word 'cis'

pls don't take this the wrong way but i think the reason ppl empowered to do harm to me in public is that most other ppl also have that shrug when objectively bad things that will never impact them are done by rich ppl

I guess I don’t see it. He lets a lot of stuff slide that is harmful to a lot of groups, and it feels presumptuous to assume someone is or isn’t affected. At the end of the day It’s his business he is allowed to run how he wants, and to change that would be a powerful reversal of the free speech norm I actually do believe in, even if he does not fully

big difference between letting stuff slide and making rules prohibiting speech ie he's put cis in the same category as the n word i understand where it comes from, him being a shitty father but it's a dangerous precedent that most ppl just shrug at because it doesn't affect them
