>Why does Musk care so much about this? Why would a guy who has pushed the boundaries of electric-vehicle manufacturing and plumbed the limits of commercial space flight care about who can say what on Twitter? His wealth is rather locked up at the moment and depends on continued operation. He sees this as a key way to ensure this. I agree with him, someone needs to do this. >“free speech seems to be much more of an obsession among men.” Why even include this in the article? Really drops quality of the article. >But “free speech” in the 21st century means something very different than it did in the 18th, when the Founders enshrined it in the Constitution. No it doesn't. It means exactly the same thing. Nothing changed. No idea why the author thinks otherwise. >The right to say what you want without being imprisoned is not the same as the right to broadcast disinformation to millions of people on a corporate platform. This nuance seems to be lost on some techno-wizards who see any restriction as the enemy of innovation. So freedom of the press you have an issue with as well? Closed the article here. Can't believe the quality of time.com has dropped so significantly.
