re: #143 Citizen K

The problem is that if Musk is going to be the kind of free speech absolutist he’s trying to pawn himself out to be and take out the moderating middle man, it won’t just be a matter of Trump returning to the platform. It’ll be making that one account whose name I refuse to name (you know, the one brigading against LGBT teachers and such and then playing victim) will absolutely become the prevailing and protected norm, and at risk users will simply end up inundated with death and hate without recourse.

Musk may have to learn the hard way that unmoderated social media simply doesn’t work. The question is whether he will learn that lesson fast enough before he irredeemably breaks Twitter.
