Good luck with that (not). Today we have decentralized social networks specifically designed to combat that kind of censorship, and other problems with centralized control.

Adding a link to a factual counter-argument is not censorship. Even adding a link to a non-factual, non-sensical rant is not censorship.

You're actually suggesting that posting dissenting information is censorship?!?

Black is white! Good is bad!

No, I am suggesting that closing down Twitter because they ban content that is harassing, that is censorship.
