      I agree, but the problem when it’s from government is that government can define “atrocities we’re doing” as “misinformation.”

      EU residents along with Canadians are the LAST people who should count on government continuing to be reasonable.

      I agree, I’m just pointing out some obstinately adhere to saying censorship has to come from a government to be “censorship”, otherwise it’s just getting kicked off a platform for what ever reason.

      It’s relevant in some contexts since you can be silenced and the first amendment doesn’t give a sh*t (as if it doesn’t have its own exceptions anyways). Though I don’t suppose truth in media is part of it. Otherwise the us government would already be clamping down on their own homegrown corp.
