I think the misunderstanding is happening because big tech claims to be an impartial platform and then actively censor whatever they don't like.
People are not demanding for government mandated one-sided media, they're asking a private company that they believe to be an impartial platform to don't take side.
Sure, you can follow both Parler and Twitter, Blaze and YouTube but I'd prefer to have a single transparent platform which respect completely freedom of speech.

Read the Twitter TOS, guidelines, rules, etc. There are pages and pages of restrictions. https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies I suspect Twitter doesn’t use a moderation policy like Parler’s specifically because they don’t want to be a cesspool like Parler, with the correspondingly tiny user-base.
