The analogy doesn't hold. There is no country in the world that enshrines in its doctrines and laws the right for people to throw garbage anywhere they want. That's not a human right or a privilege for which people have fought and died. But speech is. You might argue that Twitter isn't the government and nobody should have an expectation of free speech there, or that Twitter is international and many developed countries have laws against hate speech. However, "freedom to say things others don't like" is a thing people generally value or regret not having, in any country. It's not unreasonable to celebrate the evidence that on Twitter it is alive and well. This is one of the few topics (this being Twitter or anything Elon Musk-adjacent), where getting downvotes on HN is commonplace.
