It seems like a sour grapes moment, he would never have said that while still at the helm of Twitter. I still have more respect for Mark Zuckerberg, who in practice did more for freedom of speech in comparison, though he too capitulated to the whims of a vocal minority. That is the purpose of freedom of speech, to prevent the tyranny of the majority’s opinions from receiving outsize importance and visibility
- doctor_eval 5y agoHonestly, looking at political discourse today, I could only agree that the supposed “tyranny of the majority” has been replaced by a tyranny of the minority. Freedom of speech doesn’t imply the freedom to be heard. It just means you shouldn’t go to jail for saying something stupid. But now we have a million stupid people demanding the right to scream at us. And they are using that right for their own material betterment, at the expense of everything, most especially the truth.
