The wave of bans from the muskjet thing has been quite dramatic.

It'll be interesting to see if the people who've been lauding musk for his supposedly pro free speech attitudes will reckon with what's been happening in actuality, or if they'll just accept this as "freedom for me but not for thee".

I was excited to see his pro free speech approach and this ban wave disappoints me.

I'm actually okay with bans, suspensions and all the rest. But only if there is the following

  - A redemptive path back 
  - Due process 
  - Transparency
  - Fair application of the rules.
These recent bans have had none of that. The rule change should have been announced before the bans. There should have been warnings to remove the tweets before instant bans. The accounts should be given the opportunity to comply with the rules and come back.

While I'm sad Elon has taken this turn I still don't think Twitter is any worse off. They did this before just to a different group. At least they appear to be making progress on removing child exploitation.

I don't know if the platform can survive the disruption and unpredictably that Musk has introduced but from a moral standing, removing child exploitation wins a lot of points with me.

What has Twitter done about child exploitation in the last two months other than disband the groups responsible for stopping it?

I can find any reputable news sources saying positive things about Twitter and child exploration.
