> Twitter’s new policy is “freedom of speech, but not necessarily freedom of reach” and it seems to be going okay. > You should be able to say what you want but that doesn’t mean that it’ll be able to trend. It also means that Twitter is not in the business of making judgements on what is socially acceptable to say. Unless you say something which annoys Elon, or try to tell people about Mastadon. https://observer.com/2022/12/elon-musk-suspend-twitter-account-list/ https://observer.com/2022/12/elon-musk-suspend-twitter-accou...

Elon publicly admitted that the Mastodon policy was a mistake and has since retracted that policy. WRT the elonjet thing, they have a policy against doxxing. >Twitter also banned Sweeney’s personal account and his other two accounts tracking the private jets of Donald Trump and Mark Zuckerberg. Seems like it was applied fairly to me.

  1) You are essentially then just saying "Twitter's policies are, in fact, not about freedom of speech, as there is a policy--that you feel was correctly enforced--which somewhat obviously conflicts with that entire concept". 2) If the actual policies are back in play for this discussion--rather than the entirely-not-the-case thing about freedom of speech being upheld without a freedom of reach--then I recommend you read them as they definitely cover the content being cited in this article. https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/twitter-rules https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/twitter-rules (But like, the article also directly quotes the policy and juxtaposes it with the problematic content... which is also what you are doing to defend yourself against me trying to show that your own claim is false... so I hope you can see that your position is internally inconsistent?)
