  > So, why is Twitter such a car crash as far as censorship goes? There's been many theories. The overiding idea being pushed from the "media" is that Twitter simply doesn't censor enough "hate speech" and "harrassment". I have a lot of qualms with this though. I mean, FB by a long shot doesn't censor anywhere near as much. Take a look at basically any thread there. Yet still...FB seems to manage user-base and stock value wise. So it can't be the above theory. The other, for obvious reasons more suppressed, reason is that they censor and control too much, and the control they do do, is like you say, one-sided and bias. There's plenty of evidence that supports bias censorship on Twitter, yet there's none that Twitter doesn't censor enough, at least when you compare to Twitter. To be honest, I'de be pushed to think that people love scapegoating "the other side", "bigots", etc., for the collapse of Twitter, just so they don't have to come to the realisation that their political orientstion pushes people away from a platform. It's essentially admitting defeat right?
