Amendment I

Can’t compare other free speech to child porn. There are specific codified laws against violent porn, child porn images, and death threats. This is a huge difference from other forms of free speech and they ARE NOT THE SAME.
You are being deceptive by comparing the two with each other.
Elon has the right to censor. But it doesn’t change the fact that those sensitive to free speech are cry babies. We are falling right into their trap by capitulating to their bubble wrapped sensitivities.
You are the one who claimed “It is all just binary arranged into images and text.” That argument would allow any sort of child porn, violent porn, etc., especially the animated or Photoshopped varieties (”no children or adults were harmed in the making of this video”). It’s a bad argument.
True, we have no laws against swastikas or hate speech. (And I am firmly against hate speech laws.) That is why Jeremiah Wright and others like him are free to spew hatred for Jews in their churches. And why imams are allowed to spew hatred for infidels in their mosques.
If one of their followers commits violence against Jews or infidels, the preacher/imam and/or church/mosque are liable for incitement to violence lawsuits. Why should Musk take on that risk by allowing the lunatic ravings of an antisemitic nutter on his platform?
