So that whole Twitter rant seems to be about how Twitter, a private company, decided to not actively publish provably false conspiracy theories and hate mongering? And that's fascist somehow? You do realize that that implies that it would be less fascist if the government could force a private company to publish falsehoods and propaganda, right?

>You do realize that that implies that it would be less fascist if the government could force a private company to publish falsehoods and propaganda, right? No, I do not. How do you figure?

If that is the definition, the US has been fascist for a long time because it installed agents in supposedly private companies and probably still does: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Mockingbird https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Mockingbird But the decisions to censor content is just the same. Because the content they removed would have put a bad light on running litigation suits between company and state and the state demands most of the content changes we see on social media through such vehicles. I believe your reasoning is wrong here.
