- junofan 3y agoWhat’s wrong with following the law? The article you linked states that Twitter used to not follow the law. Now it does. I’m happy with the speech laws in my country, and full compliance is all I want from a messaging layer.
- threeseed 3y agoBecause in many countries e.g. China the laws are more about ensuring companies toe the government line. So you can't argue that X cares more about free speech than Twitter when they aren't willing to fight those laws through the judicial system. As always judge people on their actions not their words.
