All social media is censored. If you think yours isnt, you're free to test that hypothesis by posting the N word over and over. I suspect you'll find that you get censored for doing so.

in case of old twitter, the blue checkmarks and their likeminded folx were allowed to hatespeak, "brigade", doxx, libel, call to violence, anything at all, as long as their infinite vitriol was directed at certain groups implicitly but blatantly designated as unprotected. the other side, on the other hand, was subject to "private platforms can do whatever the fuck they want" kind of moderation, where even "off-platform conduct" could get you summarily banned.

    That's how it worked in the Twitter days, it's still how it works in the X days, too. If that offends you, then you should personally lobby to powerful giants like Elon Musk to take accountability for all speech on his platform. He'll love the idea of weekly class-action lawsuits and the unavoidable forfeiture of his RSUs.
