Its interesting how doing something is immediately equated with 'removing not far right' free speech.

The idea is he promotes the talking points that benefit the right and the Republicans. Both personally and in changing the platforms algorithms [1].

There have been reports of people disagreeing with that general 'platform' loosing their blue check marks [2], accounts being disabled, followers dropped [3] and so on to reduce the reach of left/liberal people.

He doesn't need to remove speech he disagrees with, he can drown it and amplify the messages he wants to be heard and significantly control the narrative and discussion that way.
