> Is the contention here that there is more censorship on X compared to Twitter pre acquisition?

That's easy to sustain.

Pre-acquisition: https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1589414958508691456

Post-acquisition: https://x.com/elonjet

Doxxing is literally against the law in certain states. I think that you will find that most people do not support doxxing.

I'm not sure you understand the definition of the word "more". A single example does not prove "more".

I was not dismissing the comment's claim, simply the poor evidence. Your evidence is far better.

Twitter's own first published transparency report under Musk acknowledged they suspended 3x as many accounts (for policy reasons other than spamming) in six months as they had done over an equivalent period just before he acquired it.

That's where you draw the line? Does a social media allow you to dox the owner's location? A true test of free speech!

There are many accounts that show the flight paths but on a 24h delay. I see that as reasonable. It allows you to do view the data but there is no security risk.

Meanwhile people were banned off twitter for saying "men are not women".

Yes, a "free-speech absolutist" who explicitly promised to preserve a very specific example of free speech on explicit free speech grounds immediately banned the account when he was able to.

And then he banned reporters for reporting on it.

It's the easiest possible example to demonstrate his principles were never genuine here.

> Falsely labeling non-violent people as “fascist” or “Nazi” should be treated as incitement to murder

That's not very free speech, right?

Again I ask you: was Twitter more free speech absolutist than current day X

There was never any security risk, the flight data was and is public information. You should be able to say “men are not women” and also repost public data. Stop pretending Elon cares about free speech.

To talk to a botnet? no thanks. You can decide to just not feed into twitter.
