The problem for Musk is that Twitter never banned them for being right-wing.

They were banned for undeniable, crystal-clear breaches of their terms of service.

Is Musk going to allow child porn, inciteful content, doxxing ? This is an unwindable situation.

If you can't tell the difference between making fun of a public figure and child pornography, you should take a step back.

Do you have evidence of widespread bans for making fun of a public figure ?

Making fun of a public figure should unquestionably be allowed.

Isn't that why the babylon bee was banned? This is what the thread is about after all!

Twitter has allowed literal dictators, terrorists, and child pornographers on the platform. They allow calls for genocide, hate speech, and doxxing as long as it's targeting the "right" people.

Those who were most banned were their political opposition. This isn't even questionable. Undercover video proves it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TexDrY6AlAw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64gTjdUrDFQ

It just happens there terms of service bans lots of things that are popular among the right wing crowd. You say it as if twitter's terms of service were the source of right and wrong, not influenced by the extreme left wing culture of silicon valley.

I agree with you. They were never banned because they were right wing, they were banned because they were tweeting hateful things that were against the rules.
