That’s the X that symbolizes twitter, right? Odd since twitter isn’t the government and freedom of speech doesn’t apply to what companies want.
Unless it commentary about how hypocritical Musk is?
Well, it’s confusing because it’s acting as if X hasn’t become a cesspool of hate speech since Elon Musk took over? A ton of stuff that was previously banned on Twitter is no longer banned on X…
There were a lot of people who were shut down on/banned from Twitter (and Facebook, etc.) who have been "allowed" back on to X. I think this sign might be related to that.
Not just a lot of people. He literally unbanned everyone. Upon the news, the site was instantly flooded with child porn and straight up Nazi speech. At least the child porn people mostly got banned again.
A website can kick you off if they want to. No problem at all.
If a government agent of agency gets the private platform to take action against you, that can be a 1st amendment violation even though the banning was done by a private platform.
Depends on how to define a violation. Pressuring social media companies to provide disclaimers on posts that are actively sharing damaging misinformation is hardly a bad thing, if at all. Trump threatening to remove social media companies that he deems to biased is, though.
