There are a number of FReepers who like and would like to restrict what you can post on FR.

To censor you must have control.

3 types: trolls, the admin moderators, the guys who post “Do Not Post To Me” http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/1888013/posts

IIRC I have challenged YOU to an ideological throwdown in frustration with actual rules being followed...

When people can’t win an argument with facts, censorship is their only alternative. When political speech can be censored, there is no freedom.

From the Twit-verse: ... to learn more about how Mr Musk will balance his clear commitment to free speech with new obligations to protect Twitter’s users from online harms.””

Simple. Anyone who barfs, screams, curses or clutches pearls because of another post gets banned. It’s called FREE speech.

You didn't name them, you categorized them.

The problem is, you don't know which "side" I'm on in the Russia Russia Russia Ukraine conflict. I've only commented on the arms industry's glee and the lock-step behavior I have witnessed. It is exactly like the hysteria over Trump/Russia, Covid, BLM, "Asian Hate", etc. Brain-dead zombies following the herd, turning on a dime.

Free Speech.

Saying or posting a similar or differing opinion.

The utter horror...

If Britain or any other member of NATO attempt to censor U.S. citizens then Congress should end all funding and participation in the organization.

You didn’t name them, you categorized them.
***Those are their straightforward names.

The problem is, you don’t know which “side” I’m on
***It matters little. You aint a conservative.

in the Russia Russia Russia Ukraine conflict.
***There is a tell, right there.

I’ve only commented on the arms industry’s glee and the lock-step behavior I have witnessed.
***Then you have nothing to fear in a socon FR-definition-of-conservative throwdown.

It is exactly like the hysteria over Trump/Russia, Covid, BLM, “Asian Hate”, etc. Brain-dead zombies
***Again, another tell. You are not a conservative. Conservatives are far more clear-thinkers than that level of bullsnot.

following the herd,
***I have never followed the herd.

turning on a dime.
***Adding pablum, standard nonconservative maneuver. Accept the throwdown.

Musk should probably sell off the European business of Twitter.

The European governments will probably require him to do so.

“Summoned?” To Parliament?

How’d that happen?

The Ukrainian and Russian knockoffs of American high tech weapons will be sold broadly.

There is a reason we fought for independence from these dumbed down subjects, which is free speech makes for smarter people.

Twitter is not a diplomatic cabinet answering to world government and thus the Parliament can stuff it and mind its own business with its own troops of Muslims in London it cannot control, however

This is signature of weak governments. China is watching
