That's a good take. We have public spaces where free speech is protected. Why is it so hard to imagine extending that into the realm of the internet? Only because we are living through an era of hypercapitalist privatization. A few days ago, it was "People don't actually want to stop working at 65, so we should only offer Social Security payouts at an older age". Rick Allen, the shitbag behind that notion, will face zero electoral consequences, of course. Anyway. With notable exceptions, Twitter gave us plebs a chance to have their voices heard by the actual people verified via the checkmark system. Elon had no idea that this was perhaps the primary allure of Twitter, and abruptly monetized the checkmark system. So funny.
