    1. How is censoring a politician “standing up for free speech”?
    2. “full of shit” = not a “free speech absolutist”. “free speech absolutist” implies that you will not censor any speech no matter what.

      You don’t seem to understand how the legal system and governments work.

      They issued a legal request to censor his account in Turkey. Failure to do so would result in severe consequences for X, such as having to take X offline for all of Turkey.

      X complied with the law and are challenging the censorship request in court, the only place that has the power to overrule the government.
