> Twitter should not be allowed to control free speech. This is political meddling by a US company in our free democratic country.

Excuse me? What on Twitter do you mean about 'free speech'?

We have finally come full circle. Do you remember how the 'center left-leaning' folks kept deflecting to 'center right-leaning' folks and the lost and banned, and used the nonsensical 'private platform' justification and 'they can moderate, ban, censor who ever they want' replies?

Now one finally screams 'free speech' on a platform that also doesn't allow it and accuses Twitter of 'political meddling' and 'interference' and is now upset and confused whether if they breached the ToS or not.

So NOW, do you finally agree that the problem is actually with the platforms themselves?

Free speech isn't the answer. if you want that goto 4chan or 8chan and if you can get past all the stuff that makes your skins crawl speak away. putting bullseyes on politian's face shouldn't be allowed either. Does something have to be done yes. maybe some kind of third party appeals process. idk, moderation at scale is a hard problem. let's not even get it to the giant spam problem that would happen. let's not forget the nut job echo chamber that we have a problem with. what about this place should the be allow to have moderation?
