Completely fair banning them over policy violation. But Elon promised 'absolute' free speech when he took over? No one would be complaining about these bans if not for the hypocrisy. I have never seen this two face stand.

Elon is now understanding the risk and fallacy of absolute free speech when some rando stalked his family. But glossed over when others shouted at the same.


Apples and oranges. I think the doxxing policy makes sense. It's absolutely not okay posting people's real-time locations, especially for famous figures who are already targets.

I don't hear anybody criticizing the policy. Because it is right. Instead people are attacking Elon's past promise, as it is the only thing they can attack.

So maybe "absolute" free speech is not a very good idea after all. What matters is good moderation.


Doxxing is a fair policy and sharing real time location to be included in the doxxing policy is fair. No disagreements there.

Elon backtracking from the absolute free speech is fair to be mocked and laughed at as 'I said so'.


I agree with both points.

Still I don't think changing one's mind is that big of a crime. Especially if there are very good reasons which are explained transparently.
