The app for independent voices

Interesting that you used the vague term "speech infringements", and not (for example) "freedom of speech".

The Twitter Files is a bunch of bullshit spun up by Elon Musk to retroactively justify his insane impulse buy of Twitter. The Facebook Files isn't a thing... you can't make a scandal out of thin air just by appending "Files" to something.

The status quo has not changed on this issue. The internet has forced a lot of individuals and organizations to take explicitly censorious stances (what legitimate business wants a hand in propping up a shit pile like the Gray Zone?), but it's not like we're exiting some utopia of unbounded expression where anyone could say anything to any number of people without consequence.

Edit to add: "your right to say it" is in no way infringed by, for example, GoFundMe refusing to host fundraisers for whacky Putin-apologist media outlets. That's *their* freedom of speech being upheld; specifically, their freedom to not provide support or amplification for a message they don't agree with. What you're arguing against *is* freedom of expression.
