Which of these is “subtle”? From the article: “The black culture has done more damage [than] the klan ever did” “The Jewish Mafia wants to replace us all with brown people” “Trannies are pedophiles” “Diversity is a codeword for White Genocide” “Hitler was right”, accompanied by a montage of the former dictator Black people belong “locked in cages at the zoo” LGBTQ+ rights activists need “IRON IN THEIR DIET. Preferably from a #AFiringSquad”

That's not the right framing. What are the specific things about any of those that warrant infringing someone's free speech rights? I mean you posted them twice in this discussion so apparently are ok with people reading them.

  I quoted them twice because two (now three) people in this thread said the tweets weren’t that bad, so people should see for themselves exactly what these users are endorsing.

The trick being pulled here is to show some horrendously bad speech, say "just ban stuff like this that's super bad!", then once the precedent is set that censorship is okay in some circumstances, keep expanding that set of circumstances until it covers everything the establishment disagrees with.

  Elon Musk has been censoring things left and right, with and without excuse. This isn’t about some sneaky way to censor Twitter. Twitter is already censored, just not hate speech.
