You [Elon] are trying, for the first time, a great experiment to see whether we can survive with a marketplace of ideas, without censorship, where all thoughts and all ideas are treated equally. — Dershowitz

What we need is to create a circle in which things that are illegal, such as abusing children, are outside the circle, but anything else has to be inside the circle. So if something is permitted for one idea or "-ism," it has to be permitted for the others. This is exactly what universities are failing to do. They are creating a line on which favored groups fall on one side and disfavored groups fall on the other side. — Dershowitz.

People will always want to censor but not be censored. — Dershowitz.

I am in favor of no prior censorship except things that are overtly illegal. Let the marketplace decide and make sure that there is an opportunity for everyone to answer. One cannot draw a line on hate speech. One person's hate speech is another person's love speech. It is important to open up the marketplace of ideas. — Dershowitz.

[Y]ou can post anything on the platform ["X"] even if it is hateful, provided that it is lawful. But then there is a separate question of what is promoted or not promoted.... Our current approach is to say, okay, you can say things that are hateful but legal on the platform, but we are not going to recommend them to others. — Elon Musk.

Advertisers, certainly, have a right to say what content they will appear next to because that's their right too, but not to dictate what can be said on the platform. — Musk.

Today the greatest danger to free speech comes from the left.... At the moment, it is the left that is educating our future leaders, so the left poses a far greater danger of censoring free speech and of skewing the marketplace of ideas. "X" has to be perceived as equally open to both sides. — Dershowitz.
