So when someone comes along and says that from now on Twitter won’t downgrade or
ban accounts because the politics are distasteful they throw their toys out of the pram
and act as though a literal fascist has seized control. Neutrality doesn’t mean hate
speech, which contravenes the law, as Musk has made clear, but the armies of little
Jacobins that have reigned over the site until now think that a commitment to free
speech must be a commitment to hate speech.
Shaun King, a prominent Black Lives Matter "activist" said “At its root, [Elon Musk]
wanting to purchase Twitter is… about white power.”
It is one of the sinister features of our time that free speech has become a dirty word
among millions of so-called progressives. The truth, as the Musk buyout has exposed, is
that progressivism today is actually darkly regressive – it craves censorship and
control, and hates the plurality of opinions that make up any truly liberal democracy.

A point about twitter if the Musk purchase goes through - it will actually lead to more cancel culture, because the second identity is attached to profiles, it becomes instantly easier to go after someones work, home life, etc. All this will do is give more power to those that already have it. Can't cancel Musk, but Musk could cause a pile on that would make some random plebes life way more difficult.
