Can you plese define what that political viewpoint is you're talking about?

Is it saying that the government should be smaller and not involved in everyday life, or is it doing things like claiming an election was stolen, which has led to real world harm (poll workers receiving death threats), or calling for violence?

These are the same social media companies that allowed, nay promoted, a Russia truther narrative that Vladmir Putin personally stole the 2016 election to install his sleeper agent in the US presidency. The same truther narrative whose architects have since been arrested for propagating it.

You didn't answer the question ... what are some examples of posts, or viewpoints that are, according to you, verboten?

And didn't the GOP helmed investigation find that there was a concerted disinformation campaign waged by Russia, as well as numerous links between people in the Trump campaign and Russian operatives?

Edit: and there are plenty of people on one side of the spectrum claiming that Biden is "in bed with China", which haven't been removed.

You're attempting to change the subject and I'm not going to take the bait. Mass censorship is far bigger than any one political issue.

As per your second paragraph, no, that is false. They made a small ad buy to sow bipartisan political division. Please stop promoting misinformation.

im just commenting to say youre right and the guy advocating censorship is wrong and it’s very disturbing to see you downvoted

Clearly, in a democracy you should be allowed to argue that an election was stolen, even if the evidence for your case isn’t strong. You can also argue for astrology or homeopathy or natural cures or any other in a long list of things that I think are pretty obviously untrue and harmful if propagated.

The core difference is between arguing something, and stating something is a fact.

Just like if you offered homeopathy "medications" or natural cures and stated they are curative, you're likely to fall under jurisdiction of medical licensing authorities (notwithstanding the "health supplement" loophole in the US).
