Unless it makes Trump look bad, then it will be bumped to the top of everyone's feed.

Zero Hedge, Gateway Pundit domains are banned site wide on Reddit now. NY Post is still probably banned on Twitter.

Whether you guys acknowledge it or not, right wing misinformation campaigns have given the GOP freedom to do a critical amount of damage to this country's most central institutions as well as radicalizing a huge portion of the electorate against science, corporate responsibility, and democracy. A censorship based approach like this isn't perfect, but it's way better than letting people lie through their teeth and degrade our economy and institutions even more.

Freedom of speech doesn't mean that Twitter has to help you spread lies.

But they allow it to spread lies about Trump. If you’re gonna censor it’s gotta be both ways or it’s bullshit.

I mean I guess, but there's really no comparison in terms of quantity or magnitude. The truth disgraces Trump plenty well enough.

This is bigger than one story, far right propaganda mills have shown a consistent pattern of false narratives to instill fear of their opposition and obfuscate wealthy Republican's consolidation of money and power.

This is true, censorship and propaganda comes from both sides

The GOP is using that propaganda to consolidate money and power, and the alt right is falling for it.

"Likely" As in, no due process?

I wonder if this is why the media is so hot on Covid still, many of them have gone off the deep end and started bottling their piss so are as terrified of having to face normal life/people again as much as they are of the virus.

Hopefully he also has the morphine addiction that does him in.

Translation: Any topic that makes Democrats look bad.
