still wrong. hate speech isnt protected and that was the primary type of speech banned and it really irked the left that they couldnt spew vitriol with impunity. within moments of complaining about being "doxxed" (they wasnt), leftists proceeded to actually try to crowdsource a doxxing.

Leftists are mad because they no longer have the monopoly of hate on Twitter. As the saying goes, equality feels like oppression when all you've known is privilege.

i think you have a caricature of "leftists" in your mind. perhaps you dislike the degree to which "leftists" attempted to categorize hate speech, and that's fine, but you really are attempting to equate apples with oranges. taking away "privilege" from your ideological adversary when your whole premise has been "absolute" freedom doesn't really level the playing field. completely reversing course on your stated ideologies once you've attained power isn't championing anything other than hypocrisy
