> Saying twitter is the most censored is completely delusional
It's simply the facts. Elon allows people like Nick Fuentes and Alex Jones on the site because they share a political agenda. Twitter is the only social media site where e.g. links to competitor platforms are suppressed while the owner of the site artificially boosts his own posts above those that are more popular.
Twitter is the most cutting edge censorship platform.
What political agenda does he share with Nick Fuentes? They are complete opposites.
Links to competitor platforms being suppressed lol. Other social media sites ban you for having viewpoints that do not align with theirs. Who cares about linking to competitor platforms?
> What political agenda does he share with Nick Fuentes? They are complete opposites
They don't agree on everything, but it's simply wrong to state they are on opposite sides. They're both far right public figures and extreme Trump supporters that later became critics of the administration. I wouldn't label Elon as a Nazi, but he thinks racism is based just like Fuentes and is generally supportive of Nazi talking points which he is wont to retweet.
> Links to competitor platforms being suppressed lol
That's literally systematic censorship. The fact that you so flippantly dismiss it says a lot about your intellectual honesty on the topic.
> Other social media sites ban you for having viewpoints that do not align with theirs
Totally false.
Elon is not far right by any metric. Nick is. Nick isn't an extreme trump supporter, he even advocated for not voting for him in 2024.
Elon thinks racism is based? Same Elon that wants millions of indians with H1-B visas? Is that the far right view?

Like what?

Censoring competitor platforms is the least of my concerns when it comes to censorship. I am much more concerned about opposing views being silenced.
