These companies are doing stuff like this:
Twitter Locks Trump Jr Account For Posting Press Conference By Pro-Hydroxychloroquine Doctors

They are not only interfering in elections, they are also interfering in health and science.

This is a crime, and if we didn't have herd immunity already, this bias censorship could have potentially killed many people.

If they think that a certain treatment is bad or has health consequences, they can just add it as a link. But there is no valid scientific report that says that HCQ is dangerous. There is not even a valid scientific report that shows that it does not work. Instead we see scientific reports that shows that it does work... extremely well. With a 10 times reduction in deaths. (Based on mainstream data).

I think there is a valid reason for people to go to jail for this.

I saw that! That is insane. It's estimated the US media coverup of hydroxycholorquine has caused 60,000 excess unnecessary deaths. All in the name of petty politics. Inexcusable.

Once a forum website reaches the top 100 websites in the world, it should legally become a public service, just like telephone wires or sewer pipes. If everyone is using it, it needs to work for almost everyone. Not just one political group. Especially when people's lives are at stake!

Removing comments, along with the half-measures some sites are using like removing upvotes and downvotes is just dirty stuff. If you are so confident of winning, why do stuff like that?
