> The only way to defend free speech is to nuke the idea of benevolent censorship from orbit. Nobody has a monopoly on the truth, nobody can discern "misinformation" from truth consistently or without bias, and nobody can define "hate speech" in universally acceptable terms that don't recall blasphemy laws of centuries past. Then stop supporting it. Really - if you dislike benevolent censorship, stop taking part in moderated and privately-held society. Stop using X, stop using Facebook, just log the fuck off. It's really that easy, if you want to stop these people from controlling your worldview. The problem with legislation demanding unconditional free speech is what happens to site owners. The current status-quo is frankly great, and allows for moderators to reconcile serious problems (eg. sexual harassment, leaking classified documents, eg.) with impunity and certainty. If you consider Elon Musk a vanguard of whatever stupid point you're making, you've more or less sabotaged your own logic better than I ever could.
