Elon Musk finally learns the real truth that no one really wants to say: There is no such thing as free speech in the United States.
If saying an opinion gets you fired from your job, or gets advertisers pulled from your site: guess what, that opinion might as well be banned from being posted.
Being held at virtual gunpoint from corporations is no different from being held at actual gunpoint from governments. This is why right-wingers complain about bannings, because, well, they have a point. Even left-wingers get hit with this too, as certain Palestine supporters that aren't careful enough with their wording are finding out.
I'd rather at least have the government say "To promote social cohesion and understanding, saying X opinion about Y groups of people, and stating Z false information will no longer be allowed". Don't get me wrong, that's still invasive as hell and a horrifying precedent to set, but having to walk on eggshells for fear of virtual lynch mobs that can pop up at will and say "He said X he said X fire him and uproot his life or we will drag you through the mud and make you lose precious consumer money!!!!" with little rhyme or reason, never stopping until their existence in society is ruined is not something that a society should support either.
That is simply vigilante justice via keyboard instead of handgun.
loosing a shitty job vs a mob tearing you from your bed, stripping you naked, beating you, setting you on fire and posing with your mangled carcass....
