It objectively is calling for censorship, irrespective of whether one considers it justified censorship

It objectively is calling for censorship, irrespective of whether one considers it justified censorship
- mrguyorama 3y agoThe idea that a private platform choosing not to amplify something they don't agree with, something that is clearly spelled out as their right in the first amendment, is "censorship" is absurd. If the local newspaper chooses not to run the classified ad you sent them, that's not censorship. If a big newspaper chooses not to publish the letter to the editor you sent them, that's not censorship. If FEDEX chooses not to ship the package you bring in, that's not censorship. A business choosing not to do business with you, even in very specific and obtuse ways is not censorship. A private entity has no legal, ethical, or moral obligation to signal boost or publish anything they do not want to.
