The problem here is that Musk has taken total control of the “digital public square” ostensibly in defense of free speech - but at the same time removed a system of checks and balances that also protected free speech.
Twitter used to have shareholders, and as such it was a public entity regulated by the SEC. Twitter rules used to be an amalgam of the majority shareholders ideas, balanced by government watchdog agency. Now it’s just Musk.. in a stroke he has taken the system of checks and balances over the public discourse and replaced it with a dictator - himself
If I'm not mistaken GAB SOCIAL is run by Andrew Torba and not by committee.
In spite of being under constant attack / sabotage by free speech / truth hating Liberal Fascists ....Torba does a great job of "Keeping GAB True To Form"
I would be surprised if Twitter becomes as "liberal" as GAB is in terms of free speech..but we'll see soon enough.
