Unbelievable for me, an avid user of USENET in the 1980s who gloried in its sheer freedom to say anything, to see the tech world now cheerleading censorship.
The parallel to the steady stream of articles that disappear on Weixin daily in China is alarming.
Eh, USENET wasn’t a for profit company. Twitter is a private platform. It’s not censorship. They have no obligation to publish anything.
Then as a private company let them take full, legal responsibility for their editorial decisions. No reason why the federal government should grant them special status to support a partisan business model.
