Somewhat. Right now Twitter and IG are the least censored major social media.
- Timon3 2y agoAre there any independent studies that have confirmed this? I don't think such a study would still be possible given the API access limitations. We know that Twitter used to comply with far fewer government censorship requests in countries like Turkey and India before Musk took over, so actual data would be great.
- arandomusername 2y agoI am not aware of any study. I am talking in regards to censorship by the platform, not from the government/legally required. It is a personal observation, but one I think it's clearly observeable by anyone that looks at them. I don't need a study to tell me that Tokyo is cleaner than SF, or that 4chan has less censorship than reddit.
- Timon3 2y agoMy personal observation shows the opposite.
- arandomusername 2y agoCan you elaborate? Which platform do you find to be less censoring? Any views/accounts in particuular that are censored on Twitter but not other?
- Timon3 2y agoI appreciate you asking, but I've had these discussions before, and they've never turned out to be fruitful. At this point I'm only interested in (and going to change my mind if presented with) independent studies, but since those are no longer possible, I don't think this will happen.
- JumpCrisscross 2y agoThen why comment?!
- Timon3 2y agoWhy make my initial comment? I keep seeing this assertion in discussions around Twitter, but I've never seen it substantiated beyond personal anecdotes, and it runs counter to my own observations. It's possible that I'm wrong, so I like to ask for data backing up these assertions. Or are you asking why I made my last comment? I thought it was more polite than just not replying.
