So you think the person not remembering the “context” of a tweet which quotes a government official is sufficient to be ok with the global censorship of the tweet that does nothing but quote a government official.

I don’t think your comment is indicative of being a lickspittle because you aren’t actually being asked to suck up to Modi and/or Elon by either of them. I’m not really sure how to describe your comment because it’s something much worse.

Oh I'm sorry I expect to actually know what the content being deleted was before passing judgement on whether it's appropriate or not. I suppose I should switch my brain off and pick up a pitchfork whenever someone yells "censorship".

The content of the tweet is in the article. He doesn't remember the context which is different.

Is this enough context?
