More accurately. What was the political speech banned?


How about prominent Stanford and Harvard doctors disagreeing with the Covid polices of the CDC?


[flagged]


Huh? Using the term whataboutism doesn't even make sense here.

He asked me to list political speech that was censored, which I did.

Dr. Jay Bhattacharya of Stanford and Dr. Martin Kulldorff of Harvard.


If that disagreement were censored, would you know about it?

Getting fired is not a 1st amendment violation. The 1st amendment only covers protection from the government (with a lot of gray ground for "disorderly conduct" laws, but I digress)


Francis Collins and Fauci specifically targeted those two doctors.


The NY Post was banned for breaking a story about revelations contained in a laptop computer abandoned by Hunter Biden. This was just prior to a national election. The FBI was involved in pushing this narrative through Twitter.

The Babylon Bee is a satire site that was banned for doing satire.

There are many many examples.


The Babylon Bee was not banned, the same way someone who tries to go into a store without shoes on isn't "banned." They just need to put on some shoes, then you're allowed in.

The Babylon Bee was told that 1 Tweet violated Twitter's policy, and that they needed to delete it to unlock their account. They chose not to.


"All you need to do is renounce your values and violate your principles. What's the big deal?"


What values and principles did the Babylon Bee renounce and violate, exactly


lmao "Twitter made me delete a Tweet that violated their ToS if I want to keep using their platform" is equivalent to renouncing all of your principles and values??


I hope we remember that in the same time period, all mentioning of same story were declared misinformation here, on Hacker News, and posts were flagged, users banned. I wonder if there is any learnings here for the current/future reaction to the ongoing stories?


And that happened under Trump. So, when he said the government was controlling the media, he knew because he was doing it.
