Freedom of Speech at Twitter/X?

I have a (free/unverified) Twitter/X account. I've probably commented less than 50 times in the couple of years I've had it. Today there was a thread where someone asked for an "Amen" from everyone who is "praying for Trump to win the election".

I posted "Bind Trump and cast him into the bottomless pit" and within a few seconds the following screen popped up:

I refreshed my browser and then this window popped up:

Oh well. I'm not going to delete it. I guess now I'm an ex-X member. Elon Musk's concept of freedom of speech appears to limit what a person can say about Trump.

Dr. Evil Musk is controlling the conversation.

I guess the religious zealots who control the board missed the Revelation reference; and misunderstood that if you can pray for the antichrist/Satan to win, you can also pray to have him bound and cast into the pit. And I am surprised that the members of the board include the angels, the only beings who could do that. :roll:

Nevertheless, I avoided Twitter before, and wouldn't waste my time on X. It's not worth my time or attention.

Sometimes the jokes are pretty good.

Perhaps, but not good enough IMHO.
