    No social media board has succeeded in this. Four-chan, Trump's thing, etc. All that claim to be 100% free speech have to start censoring otherwise things go Lord of the Flies real fast.

    Look at how much moderation Baron has to do to keep bots from advertising. Technically he's stifling free speech in a public square.

    See this is the problem. You don't actually know, you just think.

    nor do you.
    but you certainly don’t take anyone’s words at face value, do you?

    I tend to agree with you and it's the reason why I'd rather Musk steps away from that hornets nest.
    On the other hand, I would still like to see what the public square could become under proper supervision. I refuse to believe that this is the best we can do. Americans obsess over free speech, but no one is telling them that with free speech comes accountability. Europe has strict rules and this may be a point to address politically here, but hiding behind free speech to vomit nonsense cannot be sustainable. Getting rid of spam/fake accounts will be hard, but a symbolic fee to join would dramatically reduce their number. Requiring a real name and real address would shut a lot of the more extreme voices as well.

    There is no accountability in anonymous forums.
    That’s why all free speech experiments fail.

    musk must know this. He’s one of the greatest visionaries of our generation.

    1. Free speech includes hate speech.
    2. Platform providers for hate speech can be held liable.

    Therefore:

    3. No such a thing as free speech on a for profit platform.

    I remember even Plato didn't let his students to carve just about everything on his cave walls.

    Oh I know, not just from facts but from results and effects as well.

    Where do you get your "Thinking" from? The news?

    I'm sure you "know" a lot of things that you think are true.

    i know what i know and i know what don't. You don't know what Elon's intentions are and it's sad that you don't know that.

    Amazing that Amber went from Johnny Depp to this guy after her TRO.

    Depps $100 million net worth no longer did it for her.
    She needed to suck on Musk's 25 Billion dollar knob to feel like a woman again.
