The guy's argument is pretty pedantic.

Musk was basically saying the level of speech regulation in social media should mirror that of First Amendment legal protections. They're obviously not controlled by the same legal rules, but they can still be guided by the same moral principles.

“Musk was basically saying the level of speech regulation in social media should mirror that of First Amendment legal protections.”

My impression was that, by saying this, he was making clear that he wouldn’t be setting Twitter up for lawsuits or criminal charges. Beyond that, any speech is fair play. He’s try to open up the forum but make it harder for FedGov to persecute him for it.

Well stated...

I’ve made this argument here on FR. Any “virtual free PUBLIC space” should be required to allow the same free speech rules as any “physical free PUBLIC space”.

ESPECIALLY if the company wants to claim that they cannot be sued for being a mere conveyance of information, like the phone company.
