You are showing your own biases here. Twitter did cease to exist the way it did. In its place is a platform mostly free of censorship and with new features added. I’d rather see humanity in all of its good, bad, and ugly than have a feed sanitized for me by random Twitter employees who in many cases had their own agenda.

I would rather not see hate speech and incitement of violence online. If you think that Twitter in the form it has now doesn't have a hidden agenda ... That is a very naive believe to be held. Censorship is not the only negative thing that can happen to information. We should all have learned that lesson by now.

  I want to see those things. Or rather, I want people to show me who they are. I want to see all the dumb stuff politicians say. I want to see celebrities’ terrible opinions on things. I’d rather know how messed up people are than have a feed sanitized for me to keep me ignorant.

  I don't see any hate speech or incitement of violence on my X feed. If you do then you must be following the wrong accounts. Censorship is the worst negative thing that can happen to information. We should have all learned that lesson by now.

    > Censorship is the worst negative thing that can happen to information. We should have all learned that lesson by now. On the contrary, some "information" doesn't deserve the light of day, and we should have learned that lesson in the 1930s and 1940s. The question is where to draw the line.

It’s not mostly free of censorship, you can find many examples of mild left opinions being censored. Harsh epithets against the out group are allowed, up to and including death threats, but mild epithets against the right are removed and often result in bans. Free speech on Twitter is a joke, and you either are arguing in bad faith or you have no idea what you’re talking about.
