I'm not sure why GP was downvoted. There are many, many examples. You would probably see them if your primary news sources weren't the NYT, the Washington Post, CNN, or MSNBC. Twitter is the poster child for authoritarian leftist social media!
The easiest way to get censored for ideological beliefs was to state that biological sex is a reality: https://www.dailywire.com/news/twitter-censors-tucker-carlson-for-saying-a-biological-man-is-a-man https://www.dailywire.com/news/twitter-censors-tucker-carlso...
Babylon Bee got banned for harmless satire: https://www.dailywire.com/news/babylon-bee-a-factor-in-musk-buying-twitter-issues-tweet-satirizing-twitter-employee-undergoing-therapy-twitter-labels-tweet-with-warning https://www.dailywire.com/news/babylon-bee-a-factor-in-musk-...
Libs of tiktok was banned for "hate speech." I'm not sure they ever even let the account owner know exactly what was said that deserved censorship: https://www.dailywire.com/news/twitter-censors-popular-account-that-exposes-radical-gender-theories-for-hateful-conduct https://www.dailywire.com/news/twitter-censors-popular-accou...
A classic is when the NY Post got locked out for posting factual information that the left wanted to bury before the 2020 election: https://www.dailywire.com/news/nypost-remains-locked-out-of-twitter-a-week-after-publishing-bombshell-hunter-biden-report https://www.dailywire.com/news/nypost-remains-locked-out-of-...
Twitter censored health experts whenever what they said didn't fit the COVID narrative put forth by the CDC: https://www.dailywire.com/news/twitter-censors-white-house-health-expert-for-questioning-widespread-mask-wearing https://www.dailywire.com/news/twitter-censors-white-house-h...
There is still, today, multiple years after the start of the pandemic, no strong evidence that masks did anything significant to slow the spread of COVID. I can provide many citations if you need them. In fact, much of what big tech censored turned out to be true or still plausible today, like: the lab leak theory, natural immunity being more effective than the vaccine (even Bill Gates admits this now!), and so on.
James Lindsay got locked out for saying "OK groomer". https://www.dailywire.com/news/author-james-lindsay-banned-from-twitter-trans-harvard-law-instructor-claims-credit https://www.dailywire.com/news/author-james-lindsay-banned-f...
Leftists have said many, many more vile and hateful things than that without suffering a single consequence, including making threats on others' lives: https://www.foxnews.com/media/libs-of-tik-tok-creator-twitters-double-standards-threaten-violence-still-keep-account https://www.foxnews.com/media/libs-of-tik-tok-creator-twitte...
- mullingitover 4y agoThis list makes Twitter look better at content moderation than they actually are.
- cjbgkagh 4y agoFor a while "learn to code" could get you kicked off twitter. It was OK when journalists do it to other people.
- guelo 4y agoIf you didn't only read conservative news maybe you'd know about canceled leftists. Actually you wouldn't know about canceled leftists since there is no left wing popular media. We have corporate media and equally powerful far right media. That's it.
- PathOfEclipse 4y agoConservative: makes claims, provides sources. Leftist: makes claims, can't be bothered to cite anything to support them. If only this weren't a typical pattern! No leftwing popular media? Are you joking? Even left-leaning "bias" sites show that the biggest names in news as being on the left: https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/new-york-times/ https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/new-york-times/ https://www.allsides.com/news-source/new-york-times https://www.allsides.com/news-source/new-york-times And for AP: https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/associated-press/ https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/associated-press/ My only disagreement is to replace "left-center" with far-left.

- bink 4y agoI'll never understand how people can justify seeing the world in such binary terms. You don't honestly think someone is "bad" or "good" based on political ideology, do you?
