This is unfair bothsidesism. During the "progressive" era of twitter governance, policy was introduced with countless warnings and slow-walks, and had clear justification. There was nothing as naked as the retroactive bans for location info or as anticompetitive as banning linking to your off-site social media profile.
- raxxorraxor 4y agoNot really, it was pretty strong curation of certain narratives and maybe the FBI was also involved. They had pretty strong ties which many already suspected. Whether Twitter employees were groomed into censoring in the interest of state authorities or did it on their own volition is probably to be determined. But I think making the fact transparent was a good step. Because that is vastly more relevant than any other content removal if political interests get involved.
