It's not a public forum, it's a privately owned social media website/app...

The owners can kick anyone out they want.

Musk knew that, but apparently didn't know why the old owners kicked them out, it's because the vast majority of advertisers and users don't want them their.

Not saying he shouldn't but it is a slippery slope.

It's not. Platforming speech is endorsing speech. I mean, there's nuance to how it should be handled if someone says something you can't endorse, but that sentence is rule 1 of owning social media platforms.

I agree.

If you keep letting them have a platform next thing they’ll be building showers in their camps again.
