15 years ago that would've been outrageous. But at this point they're just kicking a dead horse.

They got the left cheering to support censorship in the guise of fighting "fake news" when it had the uppper hand, lest someone hurt someone's feelings.

Now it will be used againt it, and against in right wing dissidents to the establisment fairy tales too.

There's a giant difference between supporting changes to the law that allows further censorship and yelling at companies to be consistent about the enforcement of their own terms of service.

One's a law that everyone has to follow, while the other one's a made-up piece of text that the company can change at any point in time if they wish to do so.
