I mean I don’t think Musks critics are asking for the government to intervene here (well, other than those pointing out it might violates EU regs).

I was pretty cynical about his purchase and Im not terribly happy about being proven right. My hope is that he gets bored with it, sells it, and it gets a boring new owner that’s less ideological.



Yeah, the post you're responding to is missing that the responses to right-wing concerns about censorship were responding to "principled" free speech absolutism or a desire for government intervention.

There were left-wing critiques of twitter's moderation all of the time, but I don't recall seeing anyone on here advocating for government intervention to tweak it.

Posts like the one you're responding to are parroting the arguments without understanding what the arguments were actually against.
