... censor all of their political opponents

... ' child pornography?

To be clear: X is the political opponent of anyone who values democracy. As such, it can be fairly said that this IS an attempt to censor my opponents' ... child pornography. I do not object to 'censoring' CSAM. Tim Sweeney thinks child porn is free speech (pcgamer - contact me for rights to this far superior headline). When X was just vile hate speech, propaganda, and misinformation, the free speech argument prevailed. This is not the same.

Even before Grok, the moment Elongated Muskrat took over, reporting actual CSAM become much harder. But yeah, if you value democracy, you want Xitter to be gone.
