Multiple studies have shown that Facebook and twitter do not censor conservatives. This has been well established and anyone who argues otherwise is either ignorant or arguing from a position of bad faith.

> What we see for prominent conservatives, however, feels very unfair to me

I find this extremely ironic given that the slogan "facts don't care about your feelings" is attributed to conservatives in particular

All the "conservatives/libertarians" I've followed on youtube have been both demonetized and had videos suspended. It's a small sample size but all?!, what a coincidence. From the "left leaning" channels I follow I've not seen the same complain.

I don't follow anyone on facebook or twitter I can't vouch for those, maybe it's just youtube who does all the censoring.

In general "conservatives" seem to have a harder time following TOS on hate speech, bullying, racism, sexism etc.

Maybe if you name/link them we can decide if it was reasonable or not.

> Multiple studies have shown

Are you talking about the two in this article, or alluding to more?

The studies:

1) https://www.politico.com/news/2020/10/26/censorship-conserva...

"The findings demonstrate how a small number of conservative users routinely outpace their liberal rivals and traditional news outlets in driving the online conversation — amplifying their impact a little more than a week before Election Day. They contradict the prevailing political rhetoric from some Republican lawmakers that conservative voices are censored online — indicating that instead, right-leaning talking points continue to shape the worldviews of millions of U.S. voters."

2) https://www.mediamatters.org/facebook/new-study-finds-facebo...

"right-leaning pages consistently earned more average weekly interactions than either left-leaning or ideologically nonaligned pages"

This doesn't seem to me to support that "Facebook and twitter do not censor conservatives";

The assumption seems to be that if conservatives are ultimately more influential, they mustn't have been censored. I'm also not sure how fine-grained the distinction of right/left leaning is.

If all conservatives voices are censored except for a few far-right/extremist voices that are amplified, does this balance out? Add a few more dimensions and you might come up with a different conclusion.

In any case, I'll need to see more before I agree it's "well established".
