Micah Lee in the podcast:
"Elon
Musk’s says he’s a free speech 'absolutist,' but the only accounts that
they’re restoring at all are accounts that are just on the far right.
Doing a Twitter poll about 'Should I give amnesty to all the suspended
accounts?' It’s still just people on the far right. I think that’s his
definition of free speech, that you’re allowed to use hate speech. A big
proportion of people suspended are people caught up in automated
moderation things because they’re Muslim, and the algorithm thinks that
they might be a terrorist or sex worker or things like that. The
only people that are getting their accounts restored are right-wing
extremists..."
