Apparently Elon Musk and Twitter are not advocates for free speech?
Elon Musk’s Twitter waging war on Substack and Brighteon; no links allowed

Excerpt from article above:
[There is more trouble in social media paradise as Substack writers have learned that the corrupt social media platform known as Twitter is no longer allowing any Substack links to be liked, retweeted, or pinned.
If a Twitter user tries to embed a Substack link in a tweet, that tweet will now automatically lose its ability to be liked, retweeted, or even commented on. Furthermore, Twitter users can no longer pin a tweet to their profile that contains a Substack link.
Just one day before Twitter imposed this drastic and unexpected change, Substack introduced a new feature called Substack Notes that brings a social media-like feed with tweet-like posts to the popular independent newsletter platform – though, to be clear, Substack Notes is not a Twitter competitor because it exists solely within the newsletter platform’s ecosystem.
“We’re disappointed that Twitter has chosen to restrict writers’ ability to share their work,” said Substack founders Chris Best, Hamish McKenzie, and Jairaj Sethi in a statement provided to Mashable about the issue.
“Writers deserve the freedom to share links to Substack or anywhere else. This abrupt change is a reminder of why writers deserve a model that puts them in charge, that rewards great work with money, and that protects the free press and free speech. Their livelihoods should not be tied to platforms where they don’t own their relationship with their audience, and where the rules can change on a whim.”
