Yes, yes… Long after it’s useful use by date. Maybe they’ll provide the same courtesy to the other sides too.

What, Boris Johnson attended a party during Covid… hush!!! Trump talked to Putin. No, no, we can’t prove it’s true. Let’s wait till it all boils over and it becomes irrelevant then you can talk.

Like I said, the discussions you're referring to are still out there. They're still happening — right now, as we speak. You're free to go join in on them. Nothing is stopping the vast majority of people who are talking about these things. Most such users, turns out, do not violate the terms of service.

Ok, why were the NYPost articles blocked? Why were articled related to Covid blocked and people deplatformed not for lying, but just opening questions?

If the owners of a web site do something with their own site that I don't agree with, I tend to just not go there. Beyond that, I don't care. It's not "the public square", and they're not the government. Point your browser somewhere else, maybe. Take some personal responsibility over how you vote with your attention instead of trying so hard to make yourself a victim.

I am not a victim, however, news, truthfulness and openness are victims. There are instances where you can't post reasonably certain events, not to mention verifiable facts, if they are counter narrative, but you can post unverified or very suspect information, if it follows a preferred narrative --that should be of concern.

What is the purpose or turning #bidenflation to #inflation on Twitter?
