A few months ago I would have called the "pro-censorship" label hyperbole. The folks who support censorship on social media have a few decent, good-faith-sounding arguments in favor of censorship. The primary argument being something like "I'm not in favor of censorship, but censorship by corps isn't unconstitutional!". But as soon as it seemed clear that Elon would buy Twitter, the mask came off and those same people who claimed they weren't in favor of censorship were openly bemoaning the end of the pro-censorship regime.
