Look, I understand why you view this as censorship. But I hope you can understand why I don't- as far as I am concerned (and as far as US law is concerned) Twitter is a private actor and has the same rights to freedom of speech and freedom of association that I have. If me or Twitter genuinely believe that the info Rand Paul is putting out is harmful, neither of us should be required to host his opinions, in my opinion.
- chitowneats 5y agoI am not a libertarian, so no, I am not confused about censorship only being a consequence of state action. See: The Catholic Church and many similar entities. Now it's mega corporations. We recently learned, however, that some are working hand in glove with the U.S. federal government when determining what to censor. That this is all under the spectre of impending anti-trust action is not lost on the executives of those companies.
