I think you're both right. I read the article and the author does seem to be suggesting what critics of cancel-culture critics always claim we're suggesting - that popular platforms must give "equal time" to all points of view. This bit of ongoing misdirection is doing a good job of muddying the definition of "censorship" to make it look like the actual memory-hole-ing that Twitter and Facebook and Google have been engaging in is somehow purely organic. So the person you're replying to is correct that the article is completely wrong - so wrong that I kind of wonder if the author isn't trying to pull some weird "false flag" pro-censorship move.
