Your glib, sarcastic, bombastic, inappropriate remark aside, the point is that NOBODY is being censored. Claims of censorship are an age old tactic by groups of all sides to get attention.

Censorship actually does happen. In the case of the Gaza war, there's a bunch of evidence. Your refutation doesn't offer much argument: Saying it's impossible a priori is obviously false. Saying you see allegedly censorable content argues, to a degree, against a strawperson: That if censorhips worked there would be no such content.
> I'm not sure I have seen a single post ono any of those platforms which more than 50 comments which did not have at least one "ceasefirenow", palestinian flag and watermelon emoji, or in the case of facebook, a crude palestinian flag from different colored emojis.
This is from your first post. Why do you think people have had to resort to watermelons and other emoji combinations in comments on those platforms?

The only censorship I am seeing anywhere is when somebody challenges the notion that censorship is happening, because that challenges the wound-seeking nature of the post.
His remark is inappropriate, but you saying you don't care about the genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians and wish Israel did a better job of censoring it is appropriate?
But it's actually happening.
