Nobody else has joined the "absolute free speech but only until it targets me specifically" club. They're still pointing at it as a bad thing.
People are rightly pointing out that literally just a few days ago Elon's entire mantra, the story for why he paid tens of Billions of dollars to buy twitter, was him moaning about bans and loudly proclaiming to anyone who would listen that he wouldn't do bans because "free speech".
And yet all of a sudden, when that absolute free speech is directed at himself, his narrative flips on its head and ban ban ban ban ban.
Well, the consequence of free speech absolutism is that people will broadcast your location. Gosh. Who ever could have predicted that.
There's a general segment of the population who are incapable of understanding or caring about obvious consequences for anything that doesn't happen to them personally.
The inability to understand or care about obvious consequences until they happen to oneself is a normal characteristic of young children, still mentally undeveloped and shielded by the adults around them, but it's weird, unbecoming, and sad for a grown adult to still have this problem.
