@ilumium I hope they say something more sophisticated than just vaguely asking him to take down more content, which is only going to make the moderation worse[1,2]. And I know his personality can annoy people.

Avoiding framing it as "he is for free speech" might be nice. In a number of ways, the platform is actually worse for free expression.

Also, I suspect Twitter stopped consulting with the CDT (which seems to cover free expression among other things [3]) after he disbanded the councils in 2022. Does his staff consult with any free speech groups to avoid stifling speech (it doesn't have to be the CDT)? It wouldn't fix all the problems but it would probably be a start. Often, it feels like "free speech" there is about specific high profile events.
