The censorship was Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube blocking it all at once before the election. The media helped by downplaying it and going with the Russian disinformation/hack lie.
Playing semantics over whether omission of truth is bias vs. censorship doesn't make a strong argument.

- hunterb123 5y agoYou're mixing up the concept of censorship with the 1A. The 1A guarantees the right that our government won't censor us. It only pertains to the government, not these two instances involving social media behemoths and Russia. Just because something doesn't violate the 1A doesn't mean it's not censorship. Are you saying Putin isn't censoring information since it's legal for him to do so in Russia?
