OK with pre-Elon Twitter? Sure, why not? Any time I thought there was more to the story I’d check out somewhere else (which is why I’m here, and a bunch of other places too). So I got to hear what the people who hung out there thought, and I got to hear what people who thought otherwise were saying.
If anyone told me that I could only read pre-Elon Twitter (or post-Elon Twitter for that matter, or the NYT and Al Jazeera) that would be seriously bad…. But the first amendment protects me from such abuse.
You can argue that platforms curating content is a bad thing and they shouldn’t do it, but the first amendment will neither help you nor hurt you in that argument.
