Those "conservative opinions" were usually violent hate speech. There was no shortage of "conservative opinions" pre-buyout.
I think people were just upset certain figures were held to the TOS.

Yeah, the followup to that "censorship of conservative opinions" complaint is always "which opinions are those"
It's a perfect analogue for asking confederate fans, "state's rights to do what?"
In this case, it was the opinions of the politician who would receive more votes than anybody else in the history of the USA just a few years later.

"were usually violent hate speech"
Did we forget "Vote blue no matter who"???
It was often as mundane as disagreeing with ANY democrat politician/their policies.
Sometimes it wasn't even a right-wing voice, but from more Left leaning voices that got banned/ostracized.

That's your problem? Wait until you get around to the Snowden Files, you'll be floored.
"working with federal government to censor speech" is a 1A violation on the government's side

You're leaving out "gonna be wild!" and a tirade about personally being let down by Mike Pence.
It IS if you want to FORCE others to believe them / abide by your rules and work to pass laws, even retroactively, to limit what can legally be said / done that used to be legal.
