In general, more free speech is always preferable to less free speech. If you could stand on your proverbial soapbox and say something in the town square then you should be able to say the same thing on Twitter (modern day town square) without being censored. No one knows exactly what Elon will do but I think whatever he does will be a positive ... IMHO.


"In general, more free speech is always preferable to less free speech."

Again, why? This is something people are repeating almost dogmatically in this thread, and the examples from history they point to in order to support this are inapposite in numerous ways.

On the other hand, we have pretty concrete examples about how verifiably false information is spreading in contemporary society, in addition to things like hate speech.
