‘Twitter does not believe in free speech.’
By Andrea Widburg
Every conservative knows that Twitter does not believe in free speech. However, just because one knows something doesn’t mean that it’s not tremendously satisfying to hear that admission from the horse’s mouth—and in this case, the horse is Siru Murugesan, a Senior Engineer caught on hidden camera in a Project Veritas video.
Murugesan is an interesting man because he concedes two important things: (1) working at Twitter has turned him into a leftist because that’s the mindset of the entire company and (2) he’s beginning to think Elon Musk is making sense when he says that free speech is important. Murugesan’s open-mindedness may flow from the fact that he’s been experiencing some cognitive dissonance.
According to Murugesan, it’s unquestionable that “Twitter does not believe in free speech.” However, he hasn’t quite grasped that this hostility to free speech is about power and control. Instead, Murugesan attributes it to Twitter’s (and Facebook’s and Instagram’s) unwillingness to allow “bullying and harassment” on the site. As he understands it, free speech is all about preventing “bullying and harassment.”
