Elon Musk: We don't have any choice but to obey the laws of any given country.

“Our general philosophy [at 𝕏] is to hew close to the law in any given country. We can't do more than that.

As you mentioned, some countries, maybe all countries, have more restrictions on speech than the U.S. So, we don't have any choice but to obey the laws of any given country, or they'll simply cut Twitter off.

Sometimes, people are laboring under the impression that we can mandate what speech is going to be in some other country.

We're not the government, so we'll do the best we can. But if we just do illegal stuff, they'll arrest our employees, fine us, and then kick us out.”
