Ihave maintained the same of view of Twitter, and of social media in general, for the last decade. That view is:

This was my view five years ago, and it was my view five minutes ago. It was my view before Elon Musk bought Twitter, and it remained my view after Elon Musk bought Twitter. It was my view when conservative accounts were being suspended for stupid reasons, and it is my view now that progressive accounts are being suspended for stupid reasons. Twitter’s decisions are not mine to make.
