My take on free speech on twitter:

We all know speech isn't free on twitter.

Say we have three groups:

Group A: who dox and deplatform others based on perceived politics

Group B: free speech absolutists <- you are here

Group C: who cheer for Group A when they "hurt" Group B

Now, I am completely okay with Group A being doxed and deplatformed

and Group C being deplatformed

Why?

Because if these are the rules we have to live by, I want them to live by them as well.

Free speech absolutism leads to haves and have-nots on twitter

Free speech absolutism is a naive position to have when you don't have a say in how twitter is run.

What you are advocating for, while morally righteous, leads to a heavy imbalance on the platform

There is a difference in the world as you want it to be and the way the world is.

I think pragmatism is far, far better than blind principlism.

I am 100% pro free speech

but where our speech isn't free, theirs shouldn't be either.

Either all of it goes or none of it goes.
