yeah, I think he is doing it now. Because if you dont boost, unlikely anyone will see what you tweet.

Free speech is free speech only if your dictator tells you so.

Also, it very much depends on what you mean by "free". If you mean free as in free beer, then absolutely it is no longer going to be free speech. However, if you mean free as in freedom to say what you want, I don't know as I am no longer on the platform.
