Your argument will hold true if social media companies act as a platform and don't censor or intervene. In reality they take sides and push their agenda so this is bound to happen. Companies coming together to de-platform Trump and Twitter CEO admitting that twitter employees are left leaning are very good examples of why this would happen.

But those are the "experts" from the West. They believe that censoring Trump was correct but a country who wants to save it's sovereignty is incorrect and should not happen. It goes against their narrative.

  Champions of free expression wants to grant more power to Jack and his cohort than to the democratically elected Government because Governments are corrupt but Jack is not. How Ironic?

    Yes, I want Jack Dorsey, CEO of Twitter, to have more control over Twitter than the government. > the democratically elected Government The democratically elected government was elected for a million different reasons, but their proficiency at managing social media networks was not one of them. And, you know, controlling every single social network is just a bit more dangerous than controlling one.

    Their manifesto did not say that they'll regulate social media and try to limit internet freedoms. They were not elected for that. Can any future election be truly democratic if those in power get to issue content takedowns?

      An absurd argument. If a new situation emerges Government should not act because it was not in their manifesto?

    India's government is only nominally democratic and rapidly falling in freedom parameters looked at from any perspective. They are charging climate activists with sedition, holding protestors without charge for months, increase in extrajudicial killings and rapidly falling Human Development Indicators.

We saw what happens when employees are right leaning in the US. Their CEO gets kicked out and has his stock options stripped. In the US if you have a non left leaning company that’s a bad thing because in the US the center is so far right that the majority of left leaning people look wildly right wing from a European perspective (which is where the right left view of politics comes from), and the majority of the people on the right are either delusional or scamming.
