Yes there’s a strange double standard with the “its just words on the internet” perspective. On the one hand, it’s an Orwellian nightmare that Twitter would ban accounts for “having the wrong opinions”, but on the other hand who cares it’s just talking on the internet. Which one is it?

If its just meaningless words, then why does it matter that companies ban anyone for any speech?
