You cannot propose that freedom of speech has to solve these problems and if the issues remain deduce that restricting speech is the solution. That would be false reasoning. You could say the same about ice cream, yet banning it would not solve anything as well. I sympathise with the notion that free exchange of ideas should perhaps have netted more enlightenment. But my expectations of free speech isn't that is solves everything. It is something I see as a human right and essential for any intellectual discourse. Information about the Iraq war was suppressed and whistleblowers responsible are still imprisoned. With the Google and press of today I can assure you that you might have never known anything about that. It would be classified as conspiracy theory or something along that lines. > Hard problems don't get solved through pandering. See, this is where that line of thinking is very much along the lines of your popular dictator. I don't know Elon Musk personally, perhaps he is horrible. But I would take my chances if the alternative is a "heavy handed approach of censorship". It was an easy decision.
