Wanted to get people's thoughts. The argument about supressing non-verification as a form of shadowban does seem valid enough that I want a dialogue. Is the context provided around Elon's justification sufficient? This argument regarding Elon's move being blatantly anti free-speech isn't ignorable.

As a footnote, in terms of me as an Individual, I'm a conservative, I consider myself intensely pro-free speech, and my opinion of Charlie (the content creator critiquing Elon's move) mostly positive in general. I think this criticism should be acknowledged. My opinion on Elon Musk runs pretty consistent with Conservatives as a whole. He's a chaotic neutral thats generally hit or miss, recently more hit than miss, but I by no means dietify him.
