To be clear, free speech absolutely would include profanity as well.
Yet, reporting profane content as "profane" would be right.
I'm not advocating for censoring profanity. I'm not even advocating for reporting it. I'm saying, however, it would be factually accurate.
Just expressing a stance on a political issue, however, is neither profane nor harassment.
> free speech at X during the 2024
X is not a free speech platform now. Far from it.
Elon Musk promised to only censor that which was illegal, but the policies of the platform are not maximally permissive, surely not to the full extent that the law would allow.
It's true that many that were censored before no longer are, but that isn't that much of an improvement if other people are censored or shadow-banned instead.
Of course, X wouldn't be censorship-resistant regardless (like Nostr is), but that is a higher threshold than just being a free speech platform: a criterion which Reddit arguably used to meet (but, clearly, no longer does) and which platforms like Minds arguably meet today (within the constraints of US law, because they do have to follow the law of their country).
