        Clearly, because even that article is bullshit and couldn’t find 10 despite naming it “Elon Musk, King of Censorship: 10 Times the ‘Free Speech Absolutist’ Silenced Twitter Users” lol

        Government ordered takedowns are not Twitter censoring people - it’s the government.

        As for “cis” and “cisgender” - they’re considered slurs on there, but they’re not censored. You can go on there and post “cisgender” as much as you want.

            They operate within the law. If a government says you either ban an account in their country or you stop providing your service to the entire country, which do you think X should do? Because those are the options - follow the law or exit the country.

            X are challenging the government legal orders in court btw, but in the meantime they have to cooperate. Like I said, the government are the ones censoring free speech here, not X. Do you not see the difference? To operate in a country you need to follow their laws. Not every country has free speech constitutionally guaranteed btw.
