  So you're pro censorship? I'm more on the "I Disapprove of What You Say, But I Will Defend to the Death Your Right to Say It" -boat. Actually I though most people here would be, I'm a bit disappointed tbh.

  That is not what hypocrisy means. Hypocrisy has nothing to do with changing your mind over time. It had to do with taking actions which are consistent with your stated position, and holding yourself up to the same moral and ethical standards to which you hold others.

They can, but the question is whether that's what happened. I think Dorsey was always on the side of free speech in principle. Twitter used to market itself as "the free speech wing of the free speech party". [1] He probably wasn't in a strong enough position to be able to resist the pressure to silence Trump.

Especially when the facts turn out to be faked. Only one person died at the riot: a woman protestor who was shot by an African American cop. Only later, one person later died from overdosing on drugs and 3 died of natural causes. If we wait 100 years the casualty list will grow to 100%.
