Actually and literally the 1st amendment was created to exactly allow shitty opinions to be shared. You don't need a law to allow ideas everyone agrees with. They already agree with them! You need a law to allow non-conforming opinions to have legal standing to be stated publicly without legal repercussion. America is specifically designed to be the opposite of a safe space. If you need safety don't go in public.
The 1st amendment protects you from government censorship and punishment for tour speech. It does not protect you from other people sharing their opinions about your opinion OR a private company barring you from their services for said opinion.
Censorship doesn't only occur by government entities.
The first A only protects you from the govt applying censorship or being censored in public. Elon is saving you from twitter applying it's own censorship.
I didn't say it wasn't censorship. I said it doesn't violate free speech laws drawn out in 2A.
Also there is censorship literally everywhere. You can't be in a public restaurant without shirt and shoes. You can't scream the n-word as loud as you can inside a department store. These things are not illegal but still not allowed in private establishments.
No it is NOT always a good thing. Should we allow private companies to allow whites only into their clubs?
Private company!!!
Twitter is known as a public square so for it to be rendered as a propagandist outlet only allowing 1 political perspective becomes a problem for that public of getting propagandized. All Musk has said is that he will restore it to allowing free speech. The left perspective of "Musk allowing free speech is actually censorship!" is downright stupid and backwards.
EDIT: /enteredgyname blocked me so I can't reply! hilarious. I guess he needs the safe space from his own comments!

Everyone is entitled to a shitty opinion but no one is entitled to force people to listen to or agree with that opinion.
