The irony being that Musk is a software guy originally?
The ongoing Elon Twitter saga: "insert demographic" melts down

The people who matter don't need Twitter subscriptions. That leaves the wannabes hoping the subscription makes them more visible to the people who matter.
Do you think the rumour that 10,000 large accounts will be exempt from paying subscription is false. It suggests a huge lack of faith by Twitter if it can't bring itself to downgrade its 10,000 largest accounts.
Not sure if it's true or not. My personal opinion is Musk should follow through.

Nice one Elon, nothing like giving war criminals a voice

You mean like when the BBC interviewed the Russian ambassador? Or one of the countless other interviews people have done with Russian government officials? It's stupid anything is censored
Twitter: BBC objects to 'government funded media' label
Elon Musk tells the BBC he believes it is one of the "least biased" news outlets.

He's even peed off the BBC, is there anyone Elon hasn't peed off yet?

My opinion of Mr. Musk ebbs and flows like a tidal river, but winding up the BBC certainly raises him in my estimation substantially

Isn't that what everyone wants? Freedom of speech?
Historically only the bad ones limit voices.

What has Putin, unfiltered, being recommended to users on their 'for you' page, got to do with free speech?

That is nothing like the same. That is an interview where a journalist gets to ask hard questions and hold the diplomat to account (or they should) Twitter just allows them to spew their propaganda. You are saying UK papers should have allowed Joseph Goebbels to write opinion pieces, they shouldn't have censored him.

Sadly there are those who wish to hear only voices they are in agreement with, and the rest should be ostracised. There's a place in here like that, I forget the name....

Waging war, raping and murdering a population should come with a cost and that cost should be you don't also get to spew your hate and propaganda supporting your actions with impunity.

If that were the case Chris I would ask for you to be banned or put you on ignore, I've never done either of those things. Nice try though.

And others are happy to lap up lies, allow scams, fake news etc in the name of free speech.
This is the crux of the problem, true free speech allows many things that are bad for a functioning and "safe" democracy.

I don't use Twitter at all, can you not put someone whose opinions you don't wish to see on "ignore" there?
