Right, but it isn’t personal. (I mean it is, and it isn’t) This _is_ the free speech that so many people want, it’s not to build a better world, it’s to fuck with each other. This is why people told him to move slowly and Twitter had so m

See, I’ve been wondering this, so you think that he’s driving all the advertisers and employees away to start fresh, with advertisers and employees who are loyal? Do you think the subscription service will be enough to make up the lost rev
