   Musk again claiming that free speech is under attack. The usual distortion of liberal values. Plus it's a straw man argument. X hasn't been charged with 'exercising free speech', it's been charged with refusing to name a legal representative and, under EU law, deceiving its users, failing transparency requirements, and is being investigated for disseminating disinformation & *illegal* hate speech...

     Man sets fire to building, punches two people, steals a car, all the while shouting that he loves kittens.
     Man: "You get arrested nowadays just for saying you like kittens."

     Peter Krefting repeated this.

     Warning, A "stating the obvious reply":
     Musk has Libertarian views.
     He doesn't like the thought that free speech also includes being responsible for what you say. He is very immature.
