Remember, #Santa's "naughty list" is a technology of Foucauldian discipline invented by a soft cultural hegemony that has enshrined 'the family' as the unit of #capitalism's production of good compliant workers.

It's almost like everything the online speech governance experts said about what would happen with Musk, Twitter, and the digital public sphere has come true:

#1There's no such thing as free speech absolutism, but even if there was it would be an especially bad ethos to employ & esp. untenable in an ad-based speech business

#2 Content moderation is hard and Elon Musk doesn't listen to enough experts/fired all the people who knew how to do it well at Twitter and the platform will suffer for it.
