Yes. he blocks free speech in India.
Honestly I hate free speech absolutism on my feed. My argument honestly is decentralization is free speech to the high level, but I also have the free will to block you or join an instance that blocks you
i don’t care anymore if musk is pro or anti free speech, he’s a grifter who transforms twitter into a dystopian, western version of wechat and i don’t trust him. simple as.

I’d rather we don’t keep platforming Jimmy Dore, if it’s all the same to the rest of you.

Yes! He spread(s) a bunch of vaccine misinformation.
Shaun had the best distillation of what I could find. I was glad someone else had noticed his BS. It was driving me crazy when people shared some of his vaccine specific clips with me.
