This can be as mild as misgendering someone. Regardless of where you stand on American politics, eliminating censorship is the solution. Free speech involves sometimes hearing things that are hateful/incorrect. The exception would be when that speech presents an immediate threat.
I would imagine that's a rare example, I took a look at the Hateful conduct policy and overall it's pretty good.  What's Elon's actual solution?  Allow hate speech under the umbrella of "free speech".  While Americans have different laws, in Canada, it is in fact a crime.  I looked at his tweets and I can't find his actual fix, just a bunch of memes and opinions that don't spell out a replacement for the policy or anything.

He's actually been pretty blunt about his intentions (genuine or not). That is, to allow free speech within confines of what is legally acceptable. Whether offensive, misleading, or hateful content would be allowed - would be based on the law. What's legal in the USA (where Twitter is based), will definitely differ from the EU. Misinformation, misgendering, or supporting Russia isn't illegal here. I don't use Twitter personally, but I am 100% for free speech.

So what is free speech, considering it's limited by definition depending on where you are? Twitter is an international platform. There's no way to regulate it based on every country's law. "100% for free speech" means what?
It's either you allow everything or you have a policy in place like Twitter currently does. Thankfully I don't use Twitter either but I'll follow along.

Generally with our forum, I figured this went without saying. However, recent discussion has led me to believe otherwise. People are encouraged to read and follow our rules, especially those regarding illegal content. You have been warned - @oni
