Ayatollah Khamenei was not censored by Twitter when he made a post calling for the genocide of Israelis.
Funnily enough when he started questioning the efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccine his post did get edited out.
I think it’s a dangerous precedent for a social media platform to be able to moderate content and spin the story they want. It’s okay right now because Twitter is liberal and pro-Biden, but I’m wondering what’s going to happen once Twitter and the Democratic Party have a major disagreement. Will they censor them too? Only time will tell.
Also, this has nothing to do with the freedom of a business to do what it wants, they are overstepping their boundaries and attempting to prevent a major political figure from taking to his supporters (and preventing a President from speaking to his country, which is even worse). In terms of them being free to do what tbey want, and somehow them ‘being forced to broadcast Trump’s bs’ being against their freedom, this would be akin to saying the City of Pittsburgh is having its freedom violated by letting Trump speak at a rally there. Like, what? Lol
