I wonder if the same people who are angry about this were angry when the NY Post got their account banned.

They weren't. Liberals get upset when corporations aren't dutifully enforcing liberal political agendas.

It's so blatantly one-sided. Censorship is fine when they're doing it.

Nope. When the Post got banned, they were following a policy, more or less consistently. Now, we don't have a policy. We just have the rather mercurial position of one guy -- a guy who said that this was exactly the opposite of what he was going to do.

It is, of course, his right to. His company, his rules, or lack of rules. And it's everybody else's right to leave.
