Twitter preps poison pill to preclude Elon Musk's purchase plan

The bit I don't get

Where exactly does "Free Speech" come in?

You write a letter to the editor of your newspaper of choice, and if it is within range of their agenda, chances are that they will publish it. If it's somehere in between deranged and psychotic, there are sufficient outlets to disseminate yourself (many of them Murdoch-owned, but not all of them). And if you are totally off the wall, you can always start your own website.

In short, if Twitter decides that your contributions don't quite cut it, this can hardly be considered as a curtailment of Free Speech.

Elon Musk is of course perfectly free to relaunch the Weekly World News - where, I believe, he'd feel perfectly @home.
