I see your point (and don’t disagree that BLM isn’t the same as anti-lockdown protesting), but the article cites egregious examples on both sides. One example is rich folk flying around the world to second houses because they’re annoyed with their spouses. Another example involved people being banned from small religious ceremonies (like funerals, probably, though I only skimmed it), and then not being able to protest about losing their right to religious assembly.

Contrast this to Fox News, which hasn’t been deplatformed, but falsified photographic evidence against the CHAZ BLM people, and then ran headline stories about events that didn’t happen.

Again, I’m not seeing why ZeroHedge got the ban hammer when most right wing sites are much, much worse.

Are we going to now deplatform every news outlet that publishes false images? Let's start there.

But seriously, this is ridiculous. News media makes mistakes
