Twitter blocked and labeled Donald Trump's tweets on election fraud

Oh, that's so sad, isn't it? If only there were a way to conveniently and pervasively stamp out all that dirty "misinformation". Come on -- aren't you supposed to at least make your authoritarian tendencies somewhat subtle?

The Taliban's various accounts are safe, though.
There's a case to be made that they shouldn't block anything, regardless of the truth. They're not in a great position to decide which untruths are worth blocking. That, at least, is a matter of opinion rather than a matter of fact.
But the tactic of "Oh, look how oppressed I am on the grounds of my opinion that grass is purple" just looks weak. I'm sure it raises plenty of barking at the sound of the dog-whistle, but that post-post-modernist "everything is a matter of opinion, there are no facts in the world" doesn't make a strong case for putting somebody in charge.
I believe you believe you're telling the truth. I can think of no better proof that conversation about it should not be censored.
Also, the election fraud issue is not the only issue Twitter routinely censors about. I think it's also censored people about Hunter Biden's laptop, climate change issues, COVID, etc.
