If it was the old Twitter regime then no thank you, a thousand times no thank you. Also, if you don't like "Karen Elon's" bias then simply don't use his platform, see how easy that is? You want to be protected from others by others, I want to decide for myself. You're certainly entitled to your position, but here's the problem. In your version I am curtailed from engaging in my position. In my version you are still free to engage in yours. When given the option I will choose more freedom over less (with very rare exceptions). This used to be the position of most Americans. Sadly this no longer seems to be the case.
Who decides what's misinformation? I would say information that isn't verified. Not sure what the old regime did that was so harmful. The Biden and Trump administration both asked for things to be removed and both requests were granted ( I'd assume based on not being able to be verified ). Did they remove stuff on Covid I'm sure they did but they sided on the side of the majority of professionals. I take rights very seriously as well with free speech being key among them. But I just don't see having things taken off the Internet as being a violation of that right. Now if you start punishing people for spreading unverified information than that would be a problem. But I think what Musk and others are doing can be even more harmful to the 1st amendment. If you can't stop the free Press than shake people's trust in the free press. If your worried about free speech bringing issues to light then create so much noise making any factual information irrelevant.
