You know what? You're right. I didn't read the article. I see it is focused much more broadly on the globe and govornment-sponsored censorship. I assumed it was another dumbass article chicken-littleing about social media companies choosing how much hate to allow on their platforms.

Are you alluding to the previous article? This one is worth reading. It mentions how the US military begged a pastor to not promote hate because it jeopardizes security on foreign soil.

Note well: Begged. Not ordered. Not forced. Not sent the police (or some thugs) to supply some intimidation.

They asked. That was within their right to do.
