there's no guarantee a government regulating body wouldn't be politically biased (in this case the FCC) when examining a case. it looks to me that Trump made the DoJ its leash dog, what would be so hard to make the FCC the same (if it's not already)

And Twitter is not politically biased? At least we vote for government officials. None of us vote for the Twitter mods who censor mainstream political discourse.

It all depends on your personal overton window

There are many people that believe Twitter is biased in favor of conservatives simply because it allows some conservatives to speak at all...

It tends to shut down plenty of left-wing folks too, you know. "I got banned from Twitter today" is practically a meme.

It does, largely classical liberal, moderate liberal, other "left-wing" people that to not endorse the extreme Authoritarian Socialist left.

I'm an anarchist and most other anarchist-leaning folks I know with Twitter accounts have been banned at one time or another. Turns out intentionally violating platform rules does that. :)

Tankies, though, I don't know whether they tend to get banned.
