Like how they prevent people from getting the ISIS websites, Hamas websites, neo-Nazi web sites? Looks like they have more than a decade to do so and still nothing. Maybe your hyperbolic slippery slope argument is wrong?

Many of these are still allowed on Twitter, so I’m not sure what your argument is.

And I’m saying they “could”. They might decide not to.

Although I don’t think anyone could have foreseen level of censorship we have now, even 5 years ago, so who knows what it will look like in 2025.

And I think if you ask the average HN reader he wouldn’t be opposed to blocking websites for political reasons.
