A site like Twitter started off as a FREE SPEECH platform. That means ANYONE can have their say as long as it is not in Violation of a Federal or State Law.

If Poster 1 doesn't like what Poster 2 says then Poster 1 can Ignore it or make their own reply, etc, etc, etc ....

But as has been BLATANTLY OBVIOUS with the way Twitter was run, is that IF the "management" of Twitter did not like or agree with what a Poster said then the "management" of Twitter would "censor"/"remove" that Poster from Twitter, which is then Twitter acting like a "Publisher" which is in direct contradiction of Section 230 ......



From what I've seen and read since Elon Musk has owned Twitter, is that he wants to return Twitter to that original Open, Free Speech Platform where it is of no consequence as to whether or not you are Left of Centre or Right of Centre, you are free to have your say with no "Censorial Consequences".

Personally I fail to see why anyone would have a problem with it ............ And if anyone did, then they are obviously free to post somewhere else and take no part on Twitter ......
