I would appreciate an example about what kinds of political posts Twitter banned. Pre-Elon Twitter did suspend Republicans more than Democrats, but that was because Republicans tended to post more misinformation [1].
Tangentially speaking, Twitter also gave rule-breaking posts regarding the January 6th, 2021 insurrection a bit of leeway [2].

- okeuro49 3y agoSomewhat ironically for a post talking about misinformation, the first link that you use to support your claim links to a study that says "this study has not yet been published in a peer reviewed journal".
