Let's not forget that Musk has used Twitter to openly state that he would support overthrowing democracies in Latin America for his personal interest. As a Latin American person, that upset me to no end. I'm honestly shocked how he was not called out for that.

[RunnerEye]

The fact that people idealise this guy as much as they do is worrying

[scorpioigor]

Usually (always) the ones who are absolutists regarding free speech are the ones who are interested in being able to spread prejudice or disinformation with no consequence.

[PrettyGuardian]

It's painful to me how little lawmakers understand of the internet even though it's been central to our lives for decades at this point.

[owenpearson]

I appreciate the discussion of the line between civil liberties and civil rights. I hadn't heard it phrased that way before.

As to Twitter, I quit almost all social media years ago. I found it was necessary for my mental health.

[powersquirrel]

The amount of validation and sheer righteous vindication this video gave me is GLORIOUS. I've had this discussion WAY TOO MANY TIMES.

[Wfseemann]

An English prof of mine used an old punk phrase a lot “the right to swing your fist stops, where my face starts.”

[wallycola]

You are one of the best law YouTubers. Your content is always sharp and informative. Keep up the hard work, you deserve way more subscribers

[JohnTorres]

I’m actually glad that I can stop a website from collection cookies on me.

[edwardblair]

I think the history of the last year showed that you were absolutely right on all counts here.

[MistressOfWhispers]

European here. There's a ton of websites I can't access because they're "Not available in your location because we can't comply with regulations." I'm gonna lmao if that law passes & twitter/facebook reply by just going offline in Texas.

[nancyortiz]

I would be fascinated to see Leeja's opinions of what the hell is going on with Twitter now. Especially with Threads, the checkmark price, and the tweet limitations going on. 👀

[laincoubert]

as an expat, it's so bizarre to me how many americans view the first amendment (the part about free speech in particular) as this sacred staple of democracy that, if you reasonably limit it, will take the country down lol

and let's not act as if the constitution was written by some wise people with ideal moral stances that we can't even judge. it's ok to change constitutions, after all, social norms and ethics change, and legal documents should correspond to that change as well.

[rebeccadumas]

This video was very informative & explained in a great way for those that may not fully understand the judicial system. I also love that in this video you mentioned how when it fits agendas people tend to have some kind of understanding that they will gain from the hypocrisy... When bills & laws are created/ implemented society doesn't really understand the importance of knowledge & consequences... it's all about what they feel is to be gained for themselves. "When it sounds to good to be true, it usually is to good to be true." Thank you for this video.

[ennanitsua]

Ugh screw Elon. It seems like what people who talk about absolute free speech actually want is freedom from consequences. As in "I'll say whatever I want and you can't blame me for the consequences because first amendment." And as you say, only as long as it's in their own interest.

[ixConfessions]

So, Elon did buy Twitter & here we are in 2023 as Mr Free Speech picks & chooses what absolute free speech actually means & how it benefits him . . .

[creenataylor]

As a Brit I find this whole thing really hard to understand and also quiet scary. I always struggle to comprehend how and way the whole world is affected because 1 country holds a 300 year old document as sacred. It's bat shit crazy. Please stop this shit America!

[verawarren]

I'm actually surprised the comments weren't worse, but yes, you should laugh at them. I get you, you have been on point & sensible, you make a lot of sense & we need more young people like you. Keep it up!

[jaybee]

I’m just now seeing your video, Leeja, and though you posted it several months ago it’s stunning how prescient it is. Now that MuskLove has been driving Twitter like a driverless Tesla for several months, your assessment of how it would fare under that self-proclaimed “free speech absolutist” are spot on.
It seems each decision he made was worse than the last one. I heard a few days or week ago that Twitter’s value is around $15 B, or 1/3 what ol’ Space X-cadet paid for it.
Billionaire genius, huh? More like Dr. Evil.

i feel like i’m having a very educated conversation with a friend about the current state of the political world and it’s great, thank you!
