As a centrist, let me tell you the truth - a threat to free speech is coming from both far ends of political spectrum.
Would love to see these left wing examples of it
Deplatforming during covid is one.
Is the freedom of association counted under your definition of free speech?
If a private entity doesn't want to host your content they are exercising their right to choose who they associate with...
Yes, a private company can choose what content they allow. But to add to my argument, social media companies didn't ban that story on their own decision, it was after intelligence agencies acted towards them. (Sorry, English is my second language)
Not if they are brigaded into "exercising that right"
lol
Who was it that suppressed Hunter Biden story or asked for "antivaxxer" doctors to be shut down on FB/Twitter?
Sure, you will find some kind of excuses for the above, but the unbiased fact is that both sides engage in silencing of free speech according to their political agenda.
As a centrist
suppressed Hunter Biden story
“antivaxxer”
lmao
I know, it's ridiculous for people to simultaneously agree and disagree with things said on both sides of political spectrum. I should work on one party unanimity, my bad.
By the way... While you're laughing your ass of, Hunter Biden story (no matter what you think of it) wasn't supressed on all social media?

That must be why nobody's heard of it!
Yes, story broke out eventually, but it was silenced on social media when it broke because of political orders - a fact. I don't know why saying that automatically makes people wince in horror. Both sides of political spectrum engage in silencing free speech when needed.
You do realize that most people here are on some kind of social media?
You can keep saying that the story was silenced, but I've heard about it non-stop for years because the right has been pushing the story hard.
So... definitely not a fact. Your echo chamber is not reality.
It was silenced, contrary to free speech, because when the news broke NY Post was blocked on all social media and a link to the story couldn't be shared in any way (post or message).
I know, right! You can't be a centrist if you adopt any right wing politics, that's just a disguised MAGA nutjob.
No, I completely agree. I'm center left and see a lot of this coming from the left too. I was surprised to see all the agreement that it's only from the 'right', it is totally both, without question.
More people should adopt deeper models of politics, like six or nine axis models because that's how you really get at the features that drive censorship and limiting free speech.

Who's literally burning books that were removed from schools?
I know. That's why I wrote "but the unbiased fact is that both sides engage in silencing of free speech according to their political agenda."

Post got duplicated... Right wingers do. And who was deplatforming people during covid on social networks?
Deplatformed for what reason, exactly?
Hahahaha, good one.

Completely agree. Thank you.
