It was predictable that there would end up being even more restrictions against what can be posted to Twitter, with even more accounts permanently disabled, than what had been the case before the Musk takeover.

Your idiotic reply deserves a response. The Constitution has nothing to do with any business saying you can no longer freely promote your website or company on their platform. If you want to promote your company on a specific platform, buy an ad. How hard is that for you to understand?

It's the hypocrisy of it all.

The 1st Amendment of the United States' Constitution has nothing to do with a business censoring it's platform users for making false claims about voting by mail during an election either. That never stopped Republicans from whining about the 1st Amendment whenever it was done.

Everyone knew the mail in voting would be a scam.

Nice of you to admit that any argument about this has nothing to do the Constitution.

The 1st amendment also has nothing to do with the States having the Constitutional right to set parameters for elections. It is a right specifically given to the States. The only issue I have with mail-in-voting, is that many States disregarded their own laws and State Constitutions to enable mail-in-voting. You want that type of voting, fine. Just do it the right and legal way.

Now if you want to argue about the U.S. Government having secret meetings with tech companies telling them what posts or posters to remove from their platform, then I will be happy to argue with you that this was in fact a violation of the 1st amendment.

First of all, you have no idea what the point is but I'll get to that in a second. It doesn't say "company" or "ad", it's any account. As far as I know, this is now the only social media platform punishing anybody for promoting stuff off platform. He can do whatever he wants. I don't have a problem understanding that.

The point is that Elon Musk said that our free speech laws would determine Twitter policies. I made fun of him then (for his naivete) and I'm still making fun of him (for his hypocrisy).

Maybe chill with the insults when you don't know what's happening, smart guy.

Thanks, I am a smart guy. It is very obvious you have no idea what "free speech" laws actually mean. But by all means, continue with your brilliant analogy of our laws and our Constitution. I would love to learn something I could share with all of my students in my American Government and Civics lectures.

Gibberish.

You may understand the constitution but you do not understand that I am not commenting on what free speech is. Maybe read my last post repeatedly until your head stops hurting.

Just take your loss and move on. I have no intention to make you look silly on here. Good day.

The argument should be over whether or not Twitter will become even more restrictive under Musk, with more tweets deleted and more users banned for failing to abide by the terms of service.

I think we can see, through how sensitive Musk appears to be to criticism, that will indeed be the case. I agree it has nothing to do with the 1st Amendment. He can run the platform however he damn well pleases, and ban anyone who doesn't kiss his butt. That's fine. It's just not consistent with what we've been hearing from Republicans/Conservatives regarding the future of Twitter under his control.

He's declaring victory after not understanding anything I'm saying. I certainly don't feel like I won because I can't get the other side to understand my position.

Ok, I will play. I think I understand your position well. You think Musk is an egotistical, narcissist, and an attention whore. You think he constantly changes his position based on how he feels on any given day. You think his buying twitter will eventually lead to its demise. You also think that Musk has no idea what free speech means. You think it is terrible for him to suspend someone for sharing his location when he does it freely himself. You think he suspends accounts that he does not like, and you think that is wrong. Is that about right? Did I miss anything important?

What was their go-to saying before Musk bought Twitter? If you don't like it, just start your own Twitter or Facebook.
