Isn't there a huge difference between Google de-ranking a website in search, vs. Twitter etc. literally banning a link from being posted?
When you search, you are literally asking Google for their opinion on which sites to see. Any results page is a result of various decisions, it's hard to call it "censorship". But when someone posts on Twitter, and the platform literally doesn't let them post the link they want to, that seems to me to be far more egregious - and can definitely be called censorship.
So that which Google could come up with a left-wing site they de-ranked, and Twitter and Facebook couldn't, becomes even more damning for them. Their censorship is far more real.
