My original point was directed on Elon's Musk belief he can solve hate issues on Twitter by limiting the reach of negative or hateful tweets. It is an approach that works for Google, as they can filter such results. As you point as well, Twitter is about networks and if you are interested in a controversial person, you will follow them. That is good from an individual perspective, as you should have this freedom, however, it can be negative for the society as a whole. A good example is fake news.

> however, it can be negative for the society as a whole. Society wouldn't see the persons tweets, only the followers would. So, it "protects" society, and lets the follower see the controversy they desire. Or, are you suggesting that the individual shouldn't be allowed to see the controversial speech, because they can influence society? I think there have been far too many examples, in history, where the individual was right and the larger opinion of society was incredibly wrong, for this to be a goal to move towards.
