I hear you. The recent confession made by Mark Zuckerberg already telling enough. If someone's idea of free speech is only seeing content they agree with and supporting the deplatform of authors they don't agree with, that's just classic dictator moves. Philippines had its history of being run by a dictator so whenever someone raises a concern that their free speech is being violated, I look at it in the lens of whether they still have a stage to have their voices heard or be completely silenced.
There's a lot of misinformation and racist posts on X, it's not nice but these accounts are enjoying free speech more than Reddit or Facebook. Some people would just be better off blocking content they don't want to see instead of letting it live rent free inside their heads and introducing the shock content on others heads.
