Can you share the topic contents that are subject to your accusations? If you’re able to share them here without fear of government reprisal then I would argue that’s not censorship.
Why? Because it makes searching for immigration and customs enforcement content much more difficult to find. It lower the social temperature and stops it from metaphorically boiling over.
Is crowding out content censorship? Who knows. If tilting feeds in one direction and away from another has the same effect and isn't censorship because of a definitional technicality, does it really matter?
That sounds cool as long as you forfeit your Section 230 rights since at that point you’re more of a newspaper than a social network.
Yes, I know all social networks do this currently which is why they should all lose their Section 230 rights.
I mean, the definition of censorship is far larger than just that, and what you're talking about is it's more extreme form.
Moreso you ignore all the modern subtlety and nuance of modern censorship. The government doesn't need to attack you directly, they just tell the large companies that contract with the government they can't do business with companies that do certain things. Or they tell payment processors that businesses that are 'high risk' need to be audited more and will invite more government intervention in which the payment processors just drop said businesses.
I mean, if you were on a corner protesting, then the government came in and closed the roads and routed all traffic around you so no one saw you, it would be really sus, right?
I also worry about some sort of policy where a site “must” carry content. That has its own risks as well, which should be obvious.
