Remember when Musk painted himself as a free speech absolutist who would bring freedom to Twitter, and all of his fanboys believed him, and when he never delivered none of them did ever fucking care?
"Free speech is me telling you what to believe."
I don't know who said this, probably someone famous.
It's still free for them. In their mind, that's all that counts.
It's not free speech unless you mute people telling you you're wrong when you speak.
Personal favorite aneurysm was people insisting 'you can't tell him not to say that, he has free speech!'
Indeed, that's a quite common fundamental misunderstanding of what free speech is.
