Hunter Biden laptop and covid lab leak were systematically censored on twitter and elsewhere, and twitter was actively working with federal government to censor speech that was neither illegal or against any TOS.
You should take a look at the twitter files. This has nothing to do with "violent hate speech."
> twitter was actively working with federal government
That's your problem? Wait until you get around to the Snowden Files, you'll be floored.
"working with federal government to censor speech" is a 1A violation on the government's side
Privately owned platforms are not required to respect the First Amendment. Neither Twitter nor X can guarantee your freedoms.
Of course not. Those platforms have 1A rights. In some cases, the US govt violated those rights by pressuring them to take down viewpoints, hence what I said about "1A violation on the government's side."
In other cases, the platform did it all on their own. That's perfectly legal but is also rightfully seen by users as political censorship, something the EFF claims to fight even when it's not from the govt.

What did I say about the laptop? The WH coercion was about covid19.
My bad, I posted below the wrong parent, now I can't delete it.
ah np, HN probably disallows it cause I replied already
The government compelling them is the issue.
