“If freedom of speech is taken away, then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.” I don’t know what Elon Musk is thinking now that he’s bought 9% of Twitter, but this quote from George Washington deserves Musk’s attention – and his action. For the sake of America’s future, he needs to shake up the social media company until it, and all of Big Tech, once again respect the freedom of speech.
Twitter has never done well by the First Amendment. The company has a long and terrible track record of censoring people, all the way up to the former President of the United States. The company seems to have a special dislike for those who hold American ideals and believe in timeless principles and traditional morality. If you say something that goes against the worldview of the techies who make Twitter’s algorithms, be prepared to be silenced and possibly banned. This also includes satire: poking lighthearted fun at cultural elites is not even acceptable anymore.
