Freedom of Speech, Not Reach: An update on our enforcement philosophy
blog.twitter.com
Our mission at Twitter 2.0 is to promote and protect the public conversation. We believe Twitter users have the right to express their opinions and ideas without fear of censorship.

“Freedom of Speech, not Freedom of Reach - our enforcement philosophy which means, where appropriate, restricting the reach of Tweets that violate our policies by making the content less discoverable.”

Surprise! Our great ‘X’ CEO has brought back one more bad thing that we hated about twitter 1.0: Shadowbanning. And they’ve given it a new name: “Freedom of Speech, Not Reach”.

Perhaps the new approach by X is an improvement? At least they would “politely” tell you when you’re being shadow banned.

I think freedom of speech implies that people have the autonomy to decide what they want to see, rather than being manipulated by algorithm codes. Now it feels like they’re saying, “you can still have your microphone… We’re just gonna cut the power to it if you say something we don’t like”.

      “No one can act as a moderator to remove my content” This claim does align with with the principle of freedom of speech, but we have to admit that for now, complete freedom without any control can be unsafe. It could potentially lead to spams and political issues. However, the feature of not asking for phone numbers or email addresses sounds interesting, especially considering Elon is planning to introduce government ID verification.

      1 month WireMin user. To be honest I don’t really care about privacy issue, if they want to use my data for maybe selling them to 3rd-party companies or train their AI whatever. But limiting me to say whatever I want? Nah-ah For now, no one ever remove my content in any chat room on WireMin so far. And I run a NSFW chat room, it did not get banned so far, so I do believe they are decentralized, no one is able to ban my space or my account on there, even the creator or dev team. (Feel free to join, if you want to: https://i.wiremin.com/invite/?g=k48849439784) And all users remain anonymous, so that somehow helps a lot with Freedom of Expression? Cuz we know No Privacy = No Freedom. I am pretty satisfied with WireMin for now, compares to Reddit, Twitter, etc.
