Elon Musk has become the king of Twitter. He gets to decide who on Twitter is banned based on his personal whims.
I think arbitrary standards are awful but what can we really do about it?
Kanye purposely said as many incendiary comments as he possibly could during the Alex Jones interview. He achieved the feat of making Alex Jones uncomfortable in an interview.
Kanye has singlehandedly done more to hurt the cause of freedom of speech than anyone else in the last month.
I think Musk banned him over the interview not that stupid image.
Having Kanye on a social platform is clearly a liability for any owner.
Freedom of speech is already under attack from all sides and Kanye like the retard he is decides to purposely stir the pot.
My point is that Kanye has become a lightning rod for every anti-free speech group in the world.
Kanye unnecessarily said provokingly offensive comments which does makes it that much harder to promote free speech.
There is no value in Kanye's obscene comments about the mustached man.
Musk knows keeping Kanye's account active only makes his life harder when it comes to avoiding payment processors and banks canceling Twitter or some agency regulation of Twitter.
It is tough to be a free speech absolutist these days when you have complete retards like Kanye stirring shit.

Kanye is insane. That is the problem and that is why he says stuff like that.

I quite doubt that. Payment processors aren't going to cancel a company as large as Twitter. I think he just got offended by the comments. Musk is a loose cannon, after all.
Like Sallust said: most people do not want to be free, they just want fair masters. We're at the point where 'being free' is not even on the menu, so Musk as a vastly fairer master than before is definitely something to be happy about.

I disagree. So what if he does say he likes Hitler? That this should be allowed would not even have been controversial in 2014 GG, but they have moved the goalposts so far that even our view has been skewed.

Back in reality, normies are starting to talk about imbalances in speech and treatment regarding certain groups of people, about Jews and blacks more generally, both negative and positive, and they're realizing that even expressions about actual unconditional love are taboo under the current climate.
Because of Ye.
So, freedom of speech was damaged not by Kanye, but by all the bullshit that came before him, and everyone knows it. Throw in the revelations from Twitter about censorship, and Ye just tore down the cardboard curtains they hung on the windows.

This was a shitshow.
No, that would be the ADL or Johnathan Greenblatt if I had to narrow it down.
Why? Is something bad going to get done to the platform because of the things Kanye is saying?

It seems like the problem is the censors, not the censored speech, no?
That's it. If you think somebody is talking shit, point out in a clear, rational way why they are wrong to think the way they do.
Unlikely. This will all be buried and forgotten soon.

This is only true because those in control of censorship will use this as a pretext for more of it.
