The concept of censorship is not exclusive to things that violate the first amendment.

I'm very tired of it. I was just honestly wondering if anyone else is tired of it, too.
It seems to me that if could just stop debating in bad faith, perhaps we could then get to the actual issue, which is that some people think that private companies should not be allowed to do content moderation and that we'd all be magically better off if this were not allowed, or at least, not a common practice. Then we could have a debate on that question, without all the stupid noise about whether this is a real free speech issue.
Semantic arguments deployed to try to constrain the working definition of censorship (i.e. "it's a private platform, it can do what it want, if you don't like it just build your own and overturn overwhelming network effects through magic lmao!") are typically obfuscation and almost never in good faith.
And I think that you'll learn that a great many see right through them and are, indeed, very fucking tired of humoring them. Including, apparently, Elon Musk.
