Drawing equivalence between Twitter bans and government censorship is the height of western privileged ignorance.

Not when there’s bidirectional communication happening between govt and tech companies on these issues. We’ve seen them coordinate to erase particular stories from the public narrative etc. They literally have manipulated elections by doing this.
These companies were engaged in a covert surveillance program on behalf of intelligence agencies too. That by itself makes them effectively an extension of the state.

The only time I see rank propaganda on HN, it’s about stuff Elon Musk loves, like the blockchain or self-driving cars. I dread what he’ll do to Twitter.
You don’t get banned for criticizing bitcoin, VCs, Hunter Biden, US policies, BLM, the police, inflation, gender, feminism, masculinity, etc., etc, whereas Twitter tends to ban things that go counter to particular narratives even in the face of evidence. You’re a epidemiologist and critique Covid policies? Not allowed!!!
