On the assumption you are acting in good faith, that is a very poor analogy.

I think a more apt one would be: Imagine asking for a shit-free meal, and you're served a meal with just a little bit of shit in it.

    Except the meal is mostly shit. There's no free speech anywhere on Twitter. It's not even free-as-in-beer speech because you need a paid account for anyone to really see your tweets.

      Ok, lets get some things straight.

      Musk has /claimed/ (repeatedly) that he is a free speech absolutist, and by extension that twitter is as well.

      This is false: https://english.elpais.com/international/2023-05-24/under-el...

      I'm not clear on how you're defining edge cases here, and regardless, it doesnt matter.

      "Sorry officer, those murders back there were just a few edge cases! I've publicly pledged to a murder free life!"

      I see very few in this thread pretending anything

> Musk is dramatically more pro-speech than any other social media platform owner

X is blocking private messages on the basis of their content. Every competitor with E2E as even an option clears this bar handily.
