The previous "highly-curating" management at least fought politically motivated government takedown request from questionably democratic countries. The current management just rolls over and claims nothing can be done.
I wouldn't call this state of affairs "free". More like spineless.

The opposite is true, old Twitter colluded with the FBI in suppressing political information like the Hunter Biden laptop case, where the FBI falsely labeled accounts as Russian propaganda. There was a lot of stuff like this in the Twitter files, yet the media conveniently failed to report on it.
