You raise the ultimate question.

I am generally one who likes to admit all comers, regardless of their opinions...and let the best ideas win.

But I have changed my mind (recently) on Twitter a little bit.

As to whom decides whether it is propaganda or conspiracy theory on Twitter, I think it has to be Musk himself so that only one person can be held responsible.

As you say, I do trust people to make up their own minds. That's the only way.

That said, I think Musk is worried--initially at least--about the system getting clogged up and overwhelmed with propaganda and conspiracy theories to such an extent that real free speech cannot find a space.

As said above, I am trying to feel my way through this issue carefully and am open to a change of mind as the new Twitter progresses.

I also think Musk refused to reinstate Jones as a signal to potential users who were (perhaps unjustifiably) concerned about differing opinions being inflammatory. Our country right now is a tinder box of vastly different ideas (those on the Left being absolutely frikken insane). But somehow Musk has to entice people of all opinions to meet up for a discussion.

But allowing the absurd IS free speech.

Here's a nice example - I see in the Daily Mail today this article:

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11451491/Grandfather-Colorado-gay-bar-mass-shooter-MAGA-California-lawmaker-hailed-January-6-riots.html

Which is a story how the grandfather of the guy that went nuts on the gay bar is a MAGA guy.

So the author apparently intends to stain that movement with the rampage.

Should this be censored because of its prima facie stupidity, or should I have the opportunity to easily refute the headline by saying "They had to go back to the grandparent? So I guess his parents are Biden supporters."

Musk has greatly benefited from government subsidies for Tesla. That business has reportedly made him the richest man on Earth. The Twitter management was very leftist, as are the other tech giants. Musk knows who butters his bread, and the political system is a duopoly. So he got rid of the pink haired freaks, who even many center-left Democrats despise, and allowed Trump, on the right side of the Overton Window and is popular with a large segment of the American public, back in, leaving Jones out, as even many Trump supporters regard him as fringe. Were Musk to have let Jones on, the political system would grind him down, and there would be no Republicans other than maybe Lauren Boebert and a few others, defending him.
