Here's a good example of Musk unbanning someone who really should not have a platform on social media:
Andrew Tate Is Back on Twitter. Here's Why He's Still Banned Almost Everywhere Else
Quote:
Andrew Tate is back on Twitter. After first being banned from the platform in 2017, the social media personality -- who's been banned from most other platforms for misogynistic comments -- had his Twitter account restored on Friday. He's since amassed 1.5 million followers.
The short story is that 35-year-old Tate is a self-help personality who revels in misogyny. Purporting to extoll wisdom to men that helps them "escape the matrix," Tate has falsely claimed that women bear some responsibility for being sexually assaulted and that they have no "innate responsibility and honor."
After social media platforms blocked him, a spokesperson for Tate told Bloomberg: "Banning Andrew Tate from these platforms might seem the answer, but it isn't that simple. Removing Tate's voice doesn't allow for a kinder hate-free society."
That's not how TikTok sees it.
"Misogyny is a hateful ideology that is not tolerated on TikTok," a company spokesperson said. "We've been removing violative videos and accounts for weeks, and we welcome the news that other platforms are also taking action against this individual."
Says Roose: Tate is an "example of what these [social media] regulations have been put in place to address."

Others may want everyone, including impressionable children, to hear this kind of bile:

Back in 2017, he was kicked off Twitter when, criticizing the #MeToo movement, he said that rape victims "bear some responsibility" for putting themselves in a position to be assaulted, a false claim that seeks to exonerate the perpetrators of violence against women. Speaking about married women who make money via OnlyFans, a subscription service known for sexually explicit content, Tate said they owe their partners money since they're a man's property. Explaining why he'd never let a woman drive his car, he claimed that women "have no innate responsibility or honor."
