And that is a very critical difference.

Censorship happens on many platforms, but when that censorship is being done to journalists the violations are particularly egregious.

And I completely agree. I don't agree with censoring journalists and when I find sites I use doing it I make a personal dicision if I want to keep using that site.

I would hate to be in this position. Do you comply and block accounts and those with a loud enough voice will shout loudly enough that they can get back in or run the risk of upsetting the people that hold the keys to your market?
