#fuckbiden works, #fucktrump gets censored. They better have a good explanation for why this is a bug.

The question for the people who find this outrageous, why didn't you find the opposite situation just as outrageous? For years, liberals have been tacitly and often explicitly endorsing censorious behavior of Twitter, Meta and others as not only legitimate, but desirable. And this outcome is exactly why that was a dangerous position to embrace. Because, soon enough, someone you don't agree with will come into power.

We need to denounce censorship always, _especially_ when we disagree with those being censored.

There's something to this argument, but a truly uncensored site 4chan style would never have been bigger than that site. The platforms have to censor CSAM; commercially, they end up having to censor slurs and abuse down to a level which the users and advertisers find acceptable.

(also there's a lot of false equivalence going on here - 'democrat' isn't a slur!)
