Is free speech forcing Social Media CEOs to come to Congress to get grilled about not censoring enough?
It is. Congress has a right to subpoena people so it can make laws based on reality instead of assumptions and it's free to ask questions however it thinks it appropriate.

Oh really, you think Musk will now monitor/control all 500 million tweets per day? 
No I think when discussions happen like those in the Twitter files they will all end with Musk making some deciscion based on a whim. It's literally the reason he stated for buying the company. He wants to be in charge of what is and is not allowed on the platform.

You just quoted the link from me. Scroll down to #18 and #19 of The Twitter Files Part 3.

If the laptop contained something related to national security I suppose they would. But this is all theoretical so who knows.

They can ask whatever they want. Actually compelling Twitter to do something is another story. If they tried to pass a law forcing them to censor discussion of a scandal it would almost certainly be ruled unconstitutional. Simply ranting about Twitter's policies or what they think the policies should be is protected speech.
What gets me is that so many of the people who are outraged over this now were completely against the concept of net neutrality just a few years ago. This is what happens when private companies have all this power over services people have to come to rely on for all their information.

Good luck! After all, it’s virtually impossible to prove a negative, so no one will be able to prove you wrong on this new narrative you’ve carved out.
The level of butthurt emanating from you is crippling.
Wow, a billionaire did something good for the world. But all billionaires are inherently evil. How did this happen? I think I'll just go and attack anyone that says anything even the slightest bit positive about Elon Musk. Since you know, I am incapable of comprehending anyone who doesn't join me in my abject hatred of this particular man.
Wow, imagine wanting to take a fair attitude towards someone instead of immediately following the herd and condemning them to be burned at the stake!
Fun fact about Elon, he has accomplished and will accomplish more in his lifetime than all of us here combined. You can bitch and moan about him but he is improving your future at the same time. The irony 
Also, about the whole censorship thing. It was 100x worse under the prior leadership. That's a fact and no amount of grandstanding, semantics and twisting around of logic in this thread will change that. Boo fucking hoo for some loser Antifa accounts that got caught threatening somebody.
Get over it

There's not any new narrative. 
I said I thought he would uncensor people who weren't violating the law, because free speech would be popular with Twitter users, not because he's some kind of altruist.
If he doesn't uncensor people like Garland Nixon, I'll admit I was wrong, but people are indeed coming back. As I said before, I wished he'd be clearer on his timeline.
He is still actively censoring people lmao

Yeah obviously censoring people that are critical of you is a big red flag but when it's their billionaire daddy they get hard for it.

It’s worth repeating that a Delaware court FORCED him to purchase Twitter.
This entire argument that he bought twitter to revitalize free speech on the platform is a lie.
Just like his interactions with the SEC, Congress, the FTC, etc, he got himself into legal trouble by running his mouth in public (which is probably where he got the idea to latch onto this “free speech” narrative). This time it just cost him a quarter of his net worth lol. Dude’s a dipshit.

Arguably he lost more than that. He used his own liquid capital, which wasn’t enough. He used investor capital. Still not enough. So then he leveraged his other business to get to the price he agreed to, which is likely over valued by billions. Few people have managed to flush money down the toilet so successfully. Then as he attempted to salvage the dumpster fire that was semi functional, he fucked it all up.
Now he’s promoting “free speech” as he successfully bans people that he personally doesn’t like. The entire thing is so hilarious. The most epic (post) .com era fail is happening and we all get to sit back and enjoy the popcorn. Unless of course you don’t understand the internet.

Elon has now put a huge target on the back of his former employee. Really gross shit here.
And just to be clear the first article is about ADULT (18+) students and a law that says they are not legally capable of consenting to sex with their ADULT teachers. As for the second tweet, it is 100% a fact that lots of kids use Grindr to hook up and essentially Grindr looks the other way. You just have to say you’re 18. Not really a great way to deal with the significant problem of having a lot of underage kids lying about their age and interacting with adults on a sex oriented adult app.
You can’t even talk about these issues anymore without risking your life and career
