MODERATORS
And then here's the always obligatory "it's a private company!" that's pulled out, despite these spaces basically making up our public square nowadays. As a leftist, it's incredibly disappointing to see our principles just abandoned in mass.
You're putting words in my mouth, I was letting you know that "censorship" as it relates to "freedom of speech", the first amendment right, is not possible by a private company. Twitter has no obligation to act like a government entity, because they are not a government entity, whether or not they're a "public space". If you're going to throw around phrases like "freedom of speech" and "censorship", at least understand what they mean and how they work.
Also, it's "en masse".
So that's exactly what you're saying, while also being incredibly patronizing? Cool.
How the 1st amendment relates to private companies has been beaten to death and then gone around the world 500 times with how often this is parroted on reddit and literally everywhere. Do you really think I don't think this? You really don't understand what I'm saying?
I really don't, because you're using your own definitions instead of established meanings. Honestly can't say I care anymore. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Sorry to have upset you.
