When renegade weed-smoking transhumanist wannabe Martian Elon Musk announced his $46.5-billion takeover of Twitter on Monday, he said, “Free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy, and Twitter is the digital town square where matters vital to the future of humanity are debated.”

John Stuart Mill, in On Liberty, provides us with a brief crime report from the nineteenth century:
Penalties for opinion, or at least for its expression, still exist by law; and their enforcement is not, even in these times, so unexampled as to make it at all incredible that they may some day be revived in full force.

Twitter just handed the ultimate censorship weapon to Nazis. Under the new “privacy policy,” Proud Boys are reporting valid research, like documentation of public rallies by violent white supremacists.
