Just out of curiosity, what is your political persuasion? Do you tend to lean more democrat or republican? >which need not discriminate on whether the entity pushing it is associated with a government or not. I was ignoring the NYPost, to judge action taken by Twitter. Twitter should never ever censor a government website regardless for what it says. >Whether or not I want Twitter to be an arbiter of truth, some very basic research does seem to make it seem this story is a bit on the order of a conspiracy theory. Do you want Twitter to be the arbiter of truth? My usual source of Democrat/Left news is Msnbc. For whatever reason they are not covering the story at all. Can enlighten me on why it seems to be a conspiracy theory?

The "arbiter of truth" argument is weak. I want the people at Twitter and other platforms to be able to make decisions about whether something is a fact or misinformation. If they get it wrong, fine. We can use other platforms if we don't like the decisions one makes. But I'm tired of the idea that they should NEVER be able to even try to recognize the difference between truth and lies.

  > But I'm tired of the idea that they should NEVER be able to even try to recognize the difference between truth and lies. But that's not what they are doing, is it? They are recognizing the difference between potential truths that would benefit whomever they are politically aligned with from potential truths that would benefit whomever they aren't politically aligned with. They don't ask for truth, proof or anything similar, they ask for consequences, and whether those consequences appear to be good for their political agenda.
