No it does not. It has pro-far-right censorship which is something different.

Many right wingers confuse free speech with "nazi get to talk and everyone else should shut up and not oppose them". So, the mistake is understandable.

Just what is he censoring? I've seen plenty of far-out posts from both the left and right on X.

I saw plenty of far out posts under the previous owners too...

But X banned accounts for non-spam content violations at a much higher rate than Twitter and approved content censorship requests from authoritarian states at a higher rate

In this algorithmically recommended world it would be naive enough to think that censorship is as binary as “you can’t say that!” or “now you see it / now you don’t (because we took it down!)” It’s all about the reach these days, i.e. “you can say whatever you want but we control how many people actually see it”:

And there it is, posted on X.

BTW, if I owned X, I would also not allow pictures of mutilated people or sexual content. The previous incarnation of Twitter did not allow that either, but did censor right wing content and anything that disagreed with Fauci covid policy.

Hey buddy, get fucked.

That's the level of response you deserve. This comment will be killed and I do not care. It needed to be said to you.
