Clickbait. After the headline there is nothing in the linked article about Elon Musk being threatened with jail.

The stakes for platforms like Twitter would be even higher under the Online Safety Bill, which threatens jail time for company executives for serious violations, as well as penalties of up to 10% of annual global sales.

It is not "we will jail Elon" but "any executive". It is misleading. The title suggested that they would be actively going after him and only him.

What other mainstream platform is advocating for free speech? Gab is a little niche boomer site compared to Twitter.

Because the law is broad enough that it will jail GAB executives or Minds or any other platform if they go there.
