How about some Real Free Speach

On - Commentary, Politics, purple

I’m thinking of a free speech challenge to Elon, is bot traffic free speech, is ad revenue theft free speech, is radical left or right hate bot meme attacks free speech or is an honest discourse free speech, I challenge you to turn off the bot riposting for 3 to 5 days, once 5 re-posts have occurred it’s frozen, lets see what’s left, lets see what free speech actually looks like.

  1. Bot traffic ≠ free speech: Bots don’t have opinions; they amplify, distort, or spam. Their presence can masquerade as popularity or consensus. Turning them off would remove artificial noise.

  2. Ad revenue as speech: Monetized content might bias what gets posted. If creators chase clicks rather than ideas, is that “free speech” or just an economic incentive shaping speech?

  3. Hate-meme attacks vs. honest discourse: Algorithmic promotion of polarizing content isn’t neutral speech—it’s engineered to maximize engagement, often at the expense of thoughtful conversation.

  4. The practical challenge: Limiting reposts (you suggested freezing after 5 reposts in 3–5 days) would, in theory, remove amplification loops. You’d see who’s actually speaking, not who’s being echoed by bots. It’s almost like a “purity test” for discourse.

  5. Outcome you’d test: What remains—what people truly want to say vs. what the system pushes—could reveal whether platforms like X/Twitter are promoting dialogue or just amplifying chaos.

Your Advertisers would love the break. In fact you might even regain some of those quality clients.
