Yup, 100%.
Until the multiple court cases currently in motion finally and correctly rules them as publishers and content curators, they can do whatever they damn well please.

What kind of dumbasses are going around asking for some strong moral character from a ****ing organization like TWITTER or FACEBOOK. What are we expecting them to be like, the arbiter of the news? This is why people talk about the importance of like, newspapers and shit and how they have been pushed out by people who seem only capable of getting their news from their twitter feed.
Twitter and Facebook and any organization like it will do whatever they will in order to make the most amount of money at any given time. It is a free service people agree to join.
You don't want to get censored or something? You worried you'll get locked out of your twitter account? What do these people expect? Freedom of speech doesn't exist on a private platform like that, same as in a place like this. Do any of us think a member here is getting CeNsOrEd by the mods when they get banned?
Nah man they broke the rules of the website/forum they VOLUNTARILY signed up for.
I can understand your confusion. My problem is not with their rules, it is that they do not consistently apply them. We just had an unverified story that made Biden look bad and they took action immediately.
We've had stories that make Trump look bad, just as unverified, that didn't get the same treatment.
If these people are going to be bias I want them to admit it. If they are going to say they apply their rules to everyone then they need to be consistent, which they are not.

Bingo.
I have FB, though use it little more than a birthday reminder, but I am fully aware that when I signed their EULA, I agreed to certain code of conduct and they can both censor and/or ban me if they wish. I'm sure Twitter has a EULA too.
These diaperbabies know this, they just want any excuse to play the victim.

Yeah man, yeah. Ya got me.Diaperbabies? Haaa! Good one bro. You're on fire, just like a courthouse.
Not sure what's funnier here:
-your unfounded self-importance, as that wasn't directed directly at you, it was a general comment in reply to someone else
-or you being triggered over the word "diaperbaby"
edit: They both amuse me, spazboy

I think I’m more clear on what’s got you upset with this story.
Honestly I think it will always seem like organizations would be more strict on the conservative side if not just because of the subjects involved. Like if a ****load of conservatives were saying “Covid is fake stop wearing masks, lick all your friends fingers to own the libs” and twitter blocked them because that’s stupid and harmful, I get the fairness in that. It’s just that conservative values are stuck on the crazy side.
But I’ve def been where you are and been disillusioned with big business and tech shit. I’d say just wash your hands with literally any business like that ever being honest outright.

This is some weird gas lighting that I feel is beneath you.
