Twitter seems to ban all Threads links to reaffirm its position as a “free speech absolutist” platform (www.theverge.com)

A search for Threads content on Twitter currently brings up zero results, despite plenty of links to Meta’s microblogging rival being posted on the platform.

are you saying that free speech as a concept was invented by the US Government? and that the right to free speech can only be enforced by it?

free speech can mean, and has meant, many things to many different people. the concept has been around for over 1000 years. there's plenty more to say about "free speech" than just the rights specifically provided to american citizens.

No. Freedom of speech as a concept means freedom to criticize the government. Not just the US government.

Anyone that thinks otherwise, as someone once said, is a dolt.

You're the dolt lmao no one else has such a restrictive definition of the word. Context matters.
