>And who was protecting it from the mass fabrication and censorship prior? Who's protecting it now? Or were you under the impression that Twitter became a bastion of free speech and truth after Musk took over? Twitter still complies with government censorship requests[0]. The "blue check" system has become a farce[1]. Misinformation and hate speech have skyrocketed after Twitter stopped policing it and started unbanning and promoting right-wing content[2..4]. And oh yeah, all that corruption and evildoing exposed by the Twitter Files? Twitter's own lawyers admit it was all bullshit[5].

Centralized sites can never be free speech zones. Twitter wasn't then and isn't now and never will be because it's a centralized system owned by someone.
