It is telling on the fact that the Biden/Harris regime pressured a number of companies to censor information related to SARS2 and the mandatory vaccination campaigns which I gave as an example, hence the mentioning of this subject.

I joined in 2013 but that account got shadowbanned during the pandemic when I suggested it was bad practice for the Twitter leadership to ban people who did not follow the desired narrative while they allowed Iran's Khamenei, the Taliban's Zabiullah Mujahid and other similar malcontents to spout propaganda on their site. I did this by linking to a post on Ben Shapiro's 'The Daily Wire' which seemed to be enough to get banned.
Do you now understand why it is important that services allow people to venture beyond the desired narrative?

A 'Vatnik' is a jingoistic follower of government propaganda, one who uncritically follows whatever the government pushes. I think this is quite fitting given the context of this discussion, probably not in the way you intended but fitting nevertheless.
