I Keep Saying "News Is Gossip"

Censoring nude photos is one thing (I'm fine with it).

Censoring a news story (with no nudes) using the most severe methods possible (including preventing it from being shared in DMs), is another.

Twitter bosses themselves admitted this was a mistake. https://t.co/bpamPLesIj

And people keep agreeing with me.

What's worse than Twitter censoring a NY Post story?

GOP passing laws that ban ideas, turn criticizing cops into "hate crimes," and criminalize sharing info about abortion.

Oh, and Trump hanging with antisemites and attempting a coup. That's all worse. https://t.co/bpamPLesIj

Still not sure what's "bad" about Twitter declining to allow it's platform to be used to regurgitate inneundo and gossip that many still think was Russian propaganda, including the idea that the laptop actually ever belonged to Hunter Biden (or if it did, that it wasn't stolen, loaded with false information, and then left with a blind man who couldn't identify the customer by sight, so it could be "revealed" to whoever was most credulous. Several news outlets declined to run this story at all, originally. Was that also "censorship"?).

News is gossip. QED.
