I am afraid a too candid discussion about what is being censored on these plattforms is a discussion that easily leads to flames. I also certainly don't mean to just talk about censorship performed at the request of governments. (a request without explicit threat of coercion, but a request nonetheless) I also highlight the censorship which these same social media companies perform on society at large on a variety of contentious political topics. I hold the belief that these social media companies have become new types of a public square, and the freedom of expression must be guaranteed on these platforms just as well as freedom of expression is guaranteed on a irl public square in most western countries. They should be required to carry and broadcast ideas which they themselves do not subscribe to, just as well as telecom companies are required to transmit phonecalls between people they dislike.
