- edoceo 6y agoIt's not government censorship, so it's not a free speech violation. It's a corporate censorship of the platform they own.
- dnissley 6y agoIt could very reasonably be seen as a violation of the principle of free speech as well. But it's not a violation of the first amendment. We need both of these concepts so we should be careful.
- edoceo 6y agoAgree. Censorship needs at least one type of modifier (are those adjectives?) so it's clear what is being limited. Some is good and some is bad but just "censorship" alone is too ambiguous.
