Censorship and deplatforming are ways of making the competition shut up. If someone has a different opinion than you do, they should have free speech to say it. Within reason of course, nobody wants Nazis or Pedophiles to spread their opinions because they are obscene.

This is why Musk is trying to buy out Twitter, and he is trolling them with his wealth.

Don't forget removal from the APP Store or blocked by proxies.

Information still wants to be free, not stifled by tyrants just for being different opinions than the shareholders have.

Remember there is a reason why people want to root their phone, they want the freedom to install any app they wish to install. The more it gets locked down, the more people are going to find ways to unlock it.

Instead of deplatforming and censorship, ratings should be used instead for people to decide what they are going to read.
