>Before Musk takeover certain opinions just weren't present and/or were actively silenced.

Care to provide some examples of "certain opinions" that were "actively silenced?"

Afaik, open nazi were actually silenced on twitter prior Musk. But, you could talking in euphemisms and it would be mostly fine. Also, when you went really really far with harassment.

Yes, that was rather my point.

Opinions regarding masking mandates and criticizing COVID-19 response in general, for example.

So they were cracking down on people spreading dangerous disinformation in the middle of a public health emergency. Okay.

What are some others?
