I though twitter fired a lot of lawyers who held up freedom of speech and now the company is folding against governments like Turkey. But I have mostly only read headlines. Would love to read more about it.
Well, freedom of speech for racists got better, while freedom of speech for critics of authoritarian governments has been reduced. Since the number of people affected by censoring has been reduced, some people call that a win for freedom of speech (as Twitter contains more racists than government critics from countries like India and Turkey).
Not surprisingly, the self-proclaimed "free-speech-absolutionist" has no problem with censoring critics of himself, too, and only token resistance to offer towards demands of censorship by authoritarian governments.
Twitter revealed illegal government censorship of US social media because Elon bought it and was transparent. That's what I'm referring to. I don't know much about Twitter's legal fights against authoritarian countries' censorship of free speech, but that doesn't seem like a particularly winnable battle anyway.
Did that get better?
