I'm seriously out of the loop on this, what were the actual crimes?

>>time_t+(OP)
More accurately. What was the political speech banned?

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

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.

>>time_t+(OP)
There are lots of crimes that happen in the USA that should probably take priority for the FBI over people posting jokes on Twitter.

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

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

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

>>tomoha+62
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?

>>kQq9oH+7c
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??
