Censoring usually completely removes the statement with usually no justification (perhaps national security or whatever).
Not saying this is the case here, but in general these days (mostly?) right wingers completely mistake what censorship means. It seems like someone ignored my opinion is the new standard on censorship.

It seems like someone ignored my opinion is the new standard on censorship. You should create a separate twitter, and tweet moderately conservative ideas, and see what happens to that user, and your experience. I have the unique life perspective of changing political parties from Hillary Clinton (Elected DNC Delegate) -> Libertarian based on my life experience in San Francisco, and personal perception that my original thoughts may have been wrong. The way I'm treated on Twitter is entirely different. My comments, while not angry or aggressive, or extreme, find themselves hidden below the fold. When just a few years ago they were highlighted and never hidden. Trends I'm not interested in are suggested, I provide feedback to the AI and they are still suggested. I hide terms and they are highlighted. It is very Amorphous, but I suspect there is a machine learning categorization behind the scenes. It's more than coincidence.

- kmonsen 5y agoI’m not saying that is in any way right or pleasant. I’m saying that is not censorship and there are important distinctions.
