In my heart-No.

I feel there are legitimate arguments for both sides and everything in between. Some way other then censorship as we commonly think of it needs to be worked out.

 I haven't a suggestion for that, however.

 Prolly a bunch of fits and starts until the world gets a reasonably acceptable solution.

Technically,  private companies have every right to do what they please.  I have a problem when they apply the rules in blatantly biased fashion, and I am getting a major kick in the left's reaction to Musk's claim for free speech.  The very same people who, from the roof tops, yelled that private companies have that right are now screaming that a private company will be ruined by free speech.

It's the highest form of humor

And now Bidens head of "Ministry of truth" wants "verified users" to have the ability to edit other's tweets.  I wonder how "verified users" will be defined?

If this sort of thing, at the highest level of our government, does not scare the kwap out of you,  you have not been paying attention.

 Thanks for the responses.

 For those who don't support social media companies censoring content, what do you think about social media company Twitch removing the Buffalo racist mass murderer's helmet camera live footage of him killing those people? Was Twitch wrong to remove it?
