The only people who think that the political right is censored are the political right.
A few studies have been done on this topic, and consistently, they have found that right-wing messages get promulgated much faster and further than anything on the left or progressive sides.

Another reason why right-wings may think they are being censored is because of hate speech. Our AI overlords are already helping us identify hate speech sources, allowing us to sandbox them further.

> Another interesting finding from the study came from applying the model to the PubFigs dataset. Of the 1,133 tweets classified as hate speech, 1,094 were posted by right-leaning figures, while only 39 came from left-leaning figures. In terms of abusive content, right-leaning figures contributed 5,029 out of the total 5,299 abusive tweets, with only 270 coming from the left-leaning group. This means that left-leaning figures accounted for just 3.38% of the hate speech and 5.14% of the abusive content in the dataset
