Yes it does, at least in the United States... but I imagine he determined that free speech has limits in other parts of the world.

- AftHurrahWinch 4y ago> I imagine he determined that free speech has limits in other parts of the world How unfortunate that we're left to imagine this, rather than having the new ownership articulate a content moderation policy that reflects their curation decisions.
- ncallaway 4y agoBut Twitter has long supported allowing speech in different regions based on local laws. For example, I had set my region to Germany because Twitter would automatically block more content for German users (due to Nazi content being illegal in Germany). So, is your imaginary conclusion that Elon has changed Twitter's policy from: "speech is restricted for users in a locale according to the local laws" to "speech is restricted platform wide according based on the most restrictive laws that exist in the world"? It would seem very anti-free speech to me if this new system allows China to determine which content is available on Twitter, or we impose the UK's onerous libel laws on all American users.
- encryptluks2 4y agoI believe he's changed it based on whatever he is feeling at the moment is the best choice, which could change tomorrow. I honestly don't think he has a clue what he is doing or what free speech actually is. The picture Ye posted is not illegal in the United States and so therefore it appears he no longer supports free speech.
