Facebook's “see no evil” strategy

And what views would those be specifically?

Twitter suspended Jason Whitlock for tweeting "Black Lives Matter founder buys $1.4 million home in Topanga, which has a black population of 1.4%. She's with her people!"

They suspended the Chinese virologist Li-Meng Yan for supporting the COVID lab leak theory.

They blocked sharing the Hunter Biden story (for which they later apologized, after it blew up despite their efforts to suppress it).

So while the implication you're making is obvious, it doesn't stand up to scrutiny. The evidence shows that social media companies censor people for political reasons.

I didn't say it was the case with every single twitter ban. Twitter has lots and lots of horrible bans.

I was responding to the idea of "people start talking abstractly about “non-mainstream positions”". Whenever anyone gets that generic about what the problem was, be suspicious.
