Under the new Administration Twitter will assuredly ban anyone who doesn't appropriately mouth the narrative. The bans are already picking up steam, and have been since the election.
Trump: gone. Khamenei? Still tweeting about how America is the devil and the Holocaust wasn't real. Where's the explainer under this tweet [0] telling me that this information is disputed wrongthink?

I've got a weak conspiracy theory that Twitter has to take drastic action like this because they're not relevant anymore. I don't know a single person who uses Twitter. I don't know that there's a single proprietary thing about their platform that Parler/Gab couldn't copy. I don't know anyone who thinks Twitter is well-designed.
If they aren't centered in the news like they are constantly, I'm not sure that they wouldn't just fade away to competitors.

This is uncalled for. Pointing out Twitter's political bias on a technology forum is relevant, whether you agree with the comment or not.

It's a bit silly to link directly to something that doesn't support your claims. You'd be more persuasive by having no links at all.
Scihub is too valuable and I haven't seen any high level researcher who haven't used scihub.
We need to stop oligarchy . Knowledge should be avail free to those people who can't afford. Government, Corporation please stop pushing humanity to backward direction.
