I have never taken "free speech" to mean "in all places, all the time," so I don't see a conflict. The public sphere (irl and on the internet) is where people are advocating for free speech. A private company's internal email list does not qualify.


Twitter is also a private company. They are under no legal or moral obligation to disseminate all views.


You're right, they aren't! Which is why Musk wants to buy them and hold them to the standard of a de facto public townhall.


I don't understand why so many people have a hard time understanding this even though it has been repeated like a million times at this point. Are these people illiterate or using some kind of TSLAQ block list like in Twitter, because they're afraid of seeing any dissenting opinions?


It does though. Especially.
