X announced it will block certain accounts and posts in India following executive orders from the government. It is appealing the orders and states that the platform doesn't agree with them.

      Democracy does no guarantee freedom of speech. A democracy is just a form of government where everyone has a voting say in how the government is run.

        Sure, and freedom of speech is considered a democratic principle.

      These days “free speech absolutist” is used more as an excuse to defend hate speech than actual opposition of censorship. Elon was always inclined to censor whoever he finds inconvenient (company whistleblowers, plane tracker), and many of his fans are similarly inclined, say, against LGBT people, socialists, and other groups they dislike.

    If X refused to comply people here would be begging for consequences against Elon, but when they comply they get attacked over free speech.

      It’s a private company. It’s their prerogative what they do either way. That said, the man child Elon was crowing about free speech with regards to Twitter. There’s no double standards or hypocrisy here. Elon is just hoisting that petard to own himself again. As usual.
