Just in case, the irony, for me, is that if I were in favor of censorship, I would be the first person I censor, instead of using an online forum to speak in favor of censorship. I feel that there's irony in using a widely accessed medium just to talk about how censorship is better.
And here's an example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25715809 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25715809
(It bears noticing how the post whose thread that comment belongs to is certainly not about the banning of Trump or parler).

The US has long done a “controlled burn” in banning violent speech, but we do need to be vigilant that it doesn’t turn into a wild fire. I don’t understand why they removed the tweet instead of labeling it if they really want to be in the fact checking business.
