The first is indisputable. The left pushed free speech as a liberal value for decades (at least) specifically to get rid of blasphemy and obscenity laws. The second: are you suggesting twitter regularly purges right wing figures, including Republican candidates for congress, because twitter is of the political right? And, no, Twitter is not neutral, precisely for the aforementioned reason.

>The first is indisputable.

The first is mentioned and protected by the Constitution, and often employed by Republicans and the right to defend and justify their speech and politics, so no.

>Are you suggesting twitter regularly purges

As soon as you used the word "purge" your bias becomes apparent, so I'm going to find a better use of my time. Good day.

There's nothing like seeing 'Year Zero' in practice.

I'd like to point out that "liberal" and "leftist" are not the same thing.

Yes, they're often used interchangeably in contemporary American politics, but the traditional usage remains. Free speech is absolutely a "liberal value" - and for what it's worth, that's coming from an extreme libertarian that is diametrically opposed to most of the Democratic platform.

You are technically correct, which is the best kind of correct, but I don't think the prior commenter was making that distinction, so I stand by my comment in the context that I believe they intended.

I was, actually. Using English and everything. I clearly make the distinction between left and liberal in this comment: "The left pushed free speech as a liberal value"
