"Slightly" less, Lol.

Musk believes in "free speech" as long as it doesn't break the law, which has resulted in Neo-Nazis being unbanned like Nick Fuentes, Twitter is full nowadays with people being openly pro-Nazi and we haven't even got into the bot situation being out of control and porn accounts spamming every single tweet.

But Musk is also a hypocrite.

Whenever a left leaning government asks him to censor someone he throws a fit, cries about freedom of speech and all that, when a right wing government asks him to censor something he does it in an instant.

At this rate they'll be more moderation enforcement on 4Chan than Twitter.

Boo. Hoo.

The man spent billions on the platform. He gets to do what he wants. Any Authoritarian country that doesn't like it is more than welcome to ban the platform. Here in the US we still value freedom of speech.

True, if he wants to pay that much and run the platform into the ground that's his thing, but that will be because he made it a haven for far-right dingbats, not because he decreased censorship. In fact if you talk about actual censorship, the kind that comes from governments, then Twitter has only gotten worse.

But why care about censorship when what you really mean is it isn't as moderated as it once was.
