It’s not a public forum, it’s a privately owned social media website/app…
The owners can kick anyone out they want.
Musk knew that, but apparently didn’t know why the old owners kicked them out, it’s because the vast majority of advertisers and users don’t want them their.
It’s not. Platforming speech is endorsing speech. I mean, there’s nuance to how it should be handled if someone says something you can’t endorse, but that sentence is rule 1 of owning social media platforms.
It’s no more public than a shopping mall. The mall and Twitter are owned by a corporation or private entity so they can kick you out for any reason. They own the space, not the government. A public space is somewhere typically owned by the government like the library, town hall, roadway, or park. A common misconception is that anywhere people can freely enter is a public space, that’s not really how it works. If you think I’m wrong, go wave a Nazi flag and cause a disturbance at a mall and see how fast they kick you out.
I think because X/Twitter is a public forum, not your backyard?

Not saying he shouldn’t but it is a slippery slope.

I agree.
If you keep letting them have a platform next thing they’ll be building showers in their camps again.

In what sense is it public? It’s owned by X and no one else.
People want to think it’s a public forum because a lot of people use it. But that doesn’t actually make it public.
