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."

As I said, there are two issues here. Free speech in general and Twitter as a free speech forum.

My comment is about Twitter.

Musk went in and obliterated the superstructure that had been built on Twitter's foundation. Now he has to rebuild a new one devoted to "free speech."

This isn't as easy as throwing open the doors and allowing a wild West environment to develop (that is, if he wants Twitter to survive). Initially, at least, the new Twitter needs a sheriff...or at least that is the thinking so far.

The Left has told us Jones is bad and said some things they say he isn’t allowed to talk about. They used their justice system and their social training platform (Twitter) to brain him and instruct Americans on how to behave socially.

It has obviously worked.
