It's amusing that in the US, the people who are most upset about this are largely the same people who argue most strenuously for Twitter to do more censorship.

- wutbrodo 5y agoI think it's probably a broader reference to the American left's slide towards embracing censorship, of everything from ostensible misinformation to an ever-expanding definition of "violent speech". Though I don't really follow why the commenter thinks that the American right would be more OK with India censoring discussion of the pandemic. "Big tech censoring discussion of the pandemic" is a pretty hot-button issue on the right currently.
