What type of "wrong" political thought was censored on Twitter before he bought it? I' really interested to hear about this.

This is one example, also conservative satire/humor from the Bee was banned.


Former Twitter employees admitted the New York Post’s Hunter Biden laptop story didn’t violate any Twitter policies but it was taken down anyway. They also admitted they made no attempt to verify the authenticity of the contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop.

The conservative-leaning parody site, The Babylon Bee, was suspended by Twitter for 12 hours, after it had mockingly awarded transgender government official Rachel Levine the title "Man of the Year."

Bit hyperbolic ?

Anyway, that link you sen is hilarious, Twitter is a private company and platform, they can stop showing useless stories if they want too, there is no law against removing total rubbish from the platform.

Twitter also had a right to "free speech".

I'd only really any of this as a problem if laws were passed banning discussion about..."the holy laptop".

The bee is lame, I'd remove that from my platform too.


If one didn’t understand the role of satire in human sociology, one would be inclined to remove it from the public square.
