Musk v Twitter

"Let's take a vote. Who's for Eva Braun? Who wants to burn books? Who wants to spit on the Constitution of the United States of America? Anybody? All right. Now, who's for the Bill of Rights? Who thinks freedom is a pretty darn good thing? Come on, come on...let's see those hands. Who thinks we have to stand up to the kind of censorship they had under Stalin? All right! There you go, America! I love you!"
--Annie Kinsella (Field of Dreams)

Elon Musk recently accumulated a ~10% stake in Twitter (TWTR) and, as the largest single shareholder, has been named to the board of directors. An outspoken critic of Twitter's censorship policies, Musk has vowed to change things at the company.

Anti-free speech leftists are in freak out mode. They fear that the days of silencing dissent on their cherished social networking platform is coming to an end.

The differences between political parties on this issue are stark and growing. Not only do Democrats see little or no problem with censoring speech on Twitter...

...but they increasingly believe that government and tech companies should restrict freedom of speech online.

Although the left's proclivity to censor is becoming well-known, I'm still taken aback by data like this. Hard to believe this is America.

Here's hoping that Musk is up for the task at hand.
