Just curious, how's is that any different than saying people should be punished for talking about Hunter Biden's laptop, or the lab leak theory for COVID, or any other number of things?
Do you have any examples of those things?
No, no they don't.
Just another name for the blocklist. It's a shame, I had hoped Lemmy wouldn't get invaded by these lunatics so quickly.
It's different because it actually happened, unlike your fictional examples.
Also, nobody is suggesting that anyone should be "punished" for talking about those fictional examples.
Who was banned from Twitter for breaking the Biden laptop story?
Let me answer that for you, it was the NY Post.
I can go on and on but that is a pretty good start.
Twitter is a private company. Not being able to post on Twitter is not a "punishment" anyway. Next?
Wait what?
Where I come from, words mean things, perhaps it's different where you're from.
So let's play a little word game to see if we might find some agreement...
Fill in the blanks...
When mom or dad ground you it is ________
When mom or dad say "no video games for you for a week" it is ________
When a school suspends you it is _______
When your driver's license is suspended it is _______
When Reddit suspends or bans you it is _____
When Facebook bans or suspends you it is _____
When Twitter suspends you or bans you it is ______
Trump is calling for (and threatening) a legal sanction.
Your "fill in the blanks" choices reveal your childishness.
Did you read the article? I think all of your examples are different compared when it is the government that is to "come down hard" on you.
Oh I fully agree. But I was tired what happened to the NY Post was not punishment, and that is absolutely not the case.
I notice you ignored the "Twitter is a private company" part
"I can go on and on"
Please do
Oh wait let me save us all the trouble: "I shouldn't have to educate you, it's not my job"
Next
Show us on the strawman where the liberal touched you
