Are there any independent studies that have confirmed this? I don't think such a study would still be possible given the API access limitations.

We know that Twitter used to comply with far fewer government censorship requests in countries like Turkey and India before Musk took over, so actual data would be great.

I am not aware of any study.

I am talking in regards to censorship by the platform, not from the government/legally required.

It is a personal observation, but one I think it's clearly observeable by anyone that looks at them. I don't need a study to tell me that Tokyo is cleaner than SF, or that 4chan has less censorship than reddit.

[Timon3]

My personal observation shows the opposite.

[arandomusername]

Can you elaborate? Which platform do you find to be less censoring? Any views/accounts in particuular that are censored on Twitter but not other?

[Timon3]

I appreciate you asking, but I've had these discussions before, and they've never turned out to be fruitful. At this point I'm only interested in (and going to change my mind if presented with) independent studies, but since those are no longer possible, I don't think this will happen.

Then why comment?!

[Timon3]

Why make my initial comment? I keep seeing this assertion in discussions around Twitter, but I've never seen it substantiated beyond personal anecdotes, and it runs counter to my own observations. It's possible that I'm wrong, so I like to ask for data backing up these assertions.

Or are you asking why I made my last comment? I thought it was more polite than just not replying.
