the whole free speech take might be very much the right one but what if he's done something pretty bad that (incredulously) you and twitter dont know about

I’ll eat my hat if it doesn’t boil down to them refusing to provide user info to intelligence agencies

Agreed. 

Also, need to figure out how to scape and pull out all my personal historical channel feeds and store locally. Too much richness there for future LLM personal embedding/training. 

Would hate to lose all the if TG goes completely sideways.

Yeah, it definitely hasn't played out completely.

True I really don’t think the news should keep spreading until there’s an actual confirmation of what he did and if he’s truly arrested

You're right
there could be more to the situation that we're unaware of.
