My thought process...
Who is Anne Hidalgo and why does Anne not like free speech?
Is Anne being criticized? Is she leftist? Authoritarian?
Socialist party rep where middle-class citizens are unhappy and critical of her policies (taxes, cars, etc).
What is Anne's opinion? Has she talked about free speech in the past? Why is she leaving X?
General research on 'free speech' came up empty. There is some hypocrisy about Charlie Hebdo concerning free speech.
Her tweet on leaving X gives context to her criticisms while giving zero acknowledgment of positive contributions. She doesn't like negative speech. https://twitter.com/Anne_Hidalgo/status/1729079532240384196
What about France, in general, concerning free speech?
France's government is more involved with regulating speech than America's, although both governments are getting closer to having a Ministry of Truth .
France. There is a fine line between challenging the status quo (politically incorrect, etc.) and breaking the law.
Why should I care that Anne has given up on Twitter?
I don't unless this decision somehow impacts my country folk or the continued local service for X.
What should I care if American leaders gave up on Twitter?
The leader has actively demonstrated they do not want direct communication with the public.
Depending on who it is, it is inconsequential. I don't follow any mayors in any cities.
If Ron Paul was running for president and it was him, he would lose my vote for 2024.
