You know what’s not free speech? The rampant online exploitation of women and children. X isn’t a public square; it’s a privately owned platform with rules. Free speech does not mean a free-for-all with no accountability. If Musk can crack down on bots and ban accounts for impersonating him, he can absolutely remove pornography.
If an adult were watching porn on their laptop and then called a child over to show them, that adult would be charged with a crime. How is what Elon Musk is allowing on X any different?
In effect, Musk is doing the digital equivalent - knowingly providing a space where pornography is easily accessible to children, making it near impossible for young users to avoid exposure. Musk is essentially facilitating exposure to explicit content on a mass scale - normalising harm while pretending it's just another aspect of free speech.
The normalisation of violent, degrading pornography affects society as a whole. We can’t just “opt out” of a culture that perpetuates sexual exploitation any more than we can “opt out” of pollution in the air. This affects all of us.
