Mr. Musk has an honorable goal of restoring the social media outlet as a centerpiece in the Marketplace of ideas. That Twitter would function as a key online platform for robust debate and deliberation on issues of the day — from global to local — free from political or ideological bias, intervention, or censorship — is an idea that is desperately needed.
Twitter’s deep dive into politics and censorship in recent years is well known. Less understood is Twitter’s uneven history of dealing with the leveraging of its platforms by bad actors — from terrorists to despots to racists, bigots, and anti-Semites. Like Mr. Musk, as a fellow American, I too believe in the First Amendment and view free speech as a unique cornerstone of our democracy. America is currently in the throes of surging hate crimes targeting Jews, Asians, African Americans, Latinos, and the LGBTQ+ community.
We need help to begin to degrade — not enhance –the pernicious marketing campaigns of genocide-seekers and Holocaust deniers like the Ayatollah Khamenei, the fake news operations of Putin’s Russia, the lies and coverups of the suffering of the Uighurs by communist China.
