I have no illusions about how well-managed Twitter has been up to this point, but it is bitterly ironic that the narrow, libertarian-adjacent argument that goes something like "they're a private enterprise, they can ban whoever they want, free speech has nothing to do with it" is being tested. What happens when a giant, unaccountable communication monolith is run by a guy you don't like?

I can't stand the man, and I dislike the idea of him owning Twitter. Who knows what's going to happen, whether he'll succeed or not, Maybe he'll put his money where his mouth is re censorship, I don't know, but that there will be an ideological changing of the guard is inevitable, imo. What then? Do we really want these platforms to have so much unaccountable control over the discourse?
