> People in the US are no longer allowed to question the legitimacy of their elections on most social media platforms.

Sounds almost reasonable, except:

Putting a question mark after misinformation and conspiracy theories doesn't magically transform them into reasonable questions.

And pluralizing the word "elections", doesn't fool us into thinking this is about more than the 2020 presidential, and Donald Trump's lie that it was stolen.

It has been thoroughly litigated and found to be legitimate by both public and private entities. Anyone continuing to "question" it most likely has an agenda of undermining that legitimacy.
