Oh thanks! My concern is that "delicate" and "misleading" and all the reasons being articulated about whether someone's opinion should be allowed to circulate are specious.

Like I'm not seeing anything about Matt Walsh's post that's misleading. He's expressing his opinion about the statistical improbability mentioned below, which is documented. And if he's inflaming passions to an undue degree that he deserves to be censored, that's just a matter of opinion. For example I don' think he's doing that at all.

What I wouldn't mind is Twitter's counterpoint. Because it's THEIR opinion about whether something is inflaming or misleading. So if I can't see Matt's post without two extra clicks that's fine but part of that clicking should involve a reasoned explanation why he's misleading or what is factually incorrect. But I don't get that so it's just twitter telling me this guy is a liar but all they're doing is calling him a liar.

I also understand Twitter can do whatever it wants, so I'm not telling them they can't.

I just find it amusing how weak 'some of the content is disputed and might be misleading' is as an explanation. Who is disputing? Are they better or worse than Matt? I don't know. I don't know anything except when I want to read something sometimes the technocrats let me read it and sometimes they seed my mind that I'm about to be lied to by making me take positive physical action to affirm that I understand I am being subjected to operant conditioning.

Tech companies are pretty transparent why they do things, they try to figure out the best way to do things and screw up sometimes.

Zuck went to congress and said that he shouldn't moderate because he'll screw up and also show bias, and now both sides say he's screwing up and showing bias.

So between the two platforms you had two drastic different idiologies, twitter embraced self moderation, zuck wanted facebook to just let the fake news flow.

Both were hammered by congress and both political parties.

Cant win dont try.

Just say crazy things and shake maracas.
