I prefer to take perception or other subjective matters out of the equation and just look at raw tallies. How many high profile conservative/right/far-right authors and content have been banned, removed, de-platformed, or demonetized on these services? How many left-wing/progressive/ultra-left have? 10:1? 20:1?
(and if you answer with "source?" just take your head out of the sand and look around occasionally -- don't mean this offensively, but anyone who isn't a shill or with some self-serving agenda even bothers debating that the censorship is lopsided)
> it sounds rather asinine that a public force would want to nuke a platform that's "serving their agenda", albeit imperfectly.
This is exactly what communist/authoritarian regimes do and have done for decades. Sell people that it isn't perfect enough and convince others that state control would take care of it much better.
