    We all saw the undeniable evidence that Twitter had suppressed anything not in line with the positions of the left. If “X” is now doing exactly the same thing regarding posts not conforming with positions of the right then it’s just more bullshit. What is the problem with treating every position equally? I understand censorship in regard to things like doxing, child porn, and calls for violence…but everything else should be allowed and let users decide for themselves. Haven’t we had enough of being “told” what to think.

      “Hey guys, I think vaccines cause autism but THE LEFT won’t let me spread my bullshit online!

      Isn’t that the same thing as platforming actual Nazis???”

        You totally missed the point. If someone posted that and if you were capable of thinking for yourself you would research it on your own. And you would then be able to post a link supporting your position. Do you want to possibly change the position of the person and others in the same mind set making the original post or do you just want to censor them. Censorship is what causes the divide. Both sides of an issue being posted causes people to think and hopefully come together.

          “Research it on my own”? By doing what? Running clinical trials? We have experts as a society for a reason.

          You’re probably the kind of person who thinks it’s a massive government overreach that you’re forced to wear a seatbelt.

            You don’t need to be a scientist to research medical things. There are multiple sources that will provide information that you can evaluate for yourself
