Wow, damned if you do, damned if you don't. From the right's perspective, Facebook and Twitter actively censors unfavorable political opinions. This goes way beyond just policing hate speech and is one of the biggest reasons the Left didn't see Trump's victory coming. Silencing dissenting opinions doesn't mean those dissenting opinions just go away. But it is funny watching an entire industry fall over themselves trying to figure out the obvious.
