Freedom of speech?

You mean like silencing users that use the term “cis” or “cisgender”? [0]

Or banning an account tracking his jet, even after explicitly stating that he was so committed to freedom of speech that he wouldn’t ban that specific account? [1]

Or complying significantly more often with suppression demands from authoritarian governments than the previous management of Twitter did? [2]

From your statements here it appears that you take everything he says at face value. I would strongly encourage you to stop doing that.

Really unconvincing argument. It’s just marxist straw grasping. I will continue on normally, but thanks for the suggestion.
