I mean technically it’s the free speech of Elon to do whatever with his company, right? Like how the Colorado photographer didn’t have to provide services to gays and how Amazon is no longer allowing BLM.
Legally, yes. Ethically, definitely no.
How most of society uses that term is not in the legal way, but in the ethical way, which is a topic all on its own; a weird disconnect.
No ethics or morals in a corporate world. Only the law and weighing the fines.
Society is not just a corporation.
Tell that to, I dunno, everyone else.
They certainly think so.
I’ve been wary of corporations since I first read Neuromancer.
Don’t believe the shill/fiction. Regular people know what the score is.
And you get these smooth-brain takes like “Only the government can take away your free speech” because people think that “freedom of speech” and “the First Amendment” are one and the same.
When the savior of humanity declared he was a “free speech absolutist” people misinterpreted his meaning.
He meant that he should have absolute authority over who should have free speech.
