HYPOCRISY! X CEO Yaccarino Brags of ‘Hate Speech’ Censorship, Fakes Free Speech Concern

X CEO Linda Yaccarino pretends to be pro-free speech, but in a new blog post she openly justifies censorship.

Linda Yaccarino was brought from leftist NBCUniversal and the anti-free speech World Economic Forum (WEF) by Elon Musk to be CEO of X (formerly Twitter). In a Jan. 22 blog post, Yaccarino claimed “hate speech” is not free speech, but without defining “hate speech.” Leftists often apply the term to anything with which they disagree. Furthermore, Yaccarino proudly announced that X had censored millions of pieces of content. How does this post fit with Musk’s avowed free speech goals?

Yaccarino’s post began well, championing “information independence” and defending people’s right to make up their minds based on a free exchange of ideas. She also mentioned censorship as holding back progress. She argued that “freedom of speech” and discussions about it are highly beneficial. The X CEO then clarified, however, that she exempts undefined “hate speech” and anti-Semitism from free speech protections.
