If by left discussion you mean discussion of the genocide in Gaza, don't count on it, because this censorship is bipartisan in the United States.

Zuck cares about currying favor with the powerful. He doesn't give a crap about the powerless. Also, he's pretending that Texas, the proposed site for content moderation, is not politically biased, which is laughable. "We're moving from a blue state to a red state" is not a serious proposal for reducing or eliminating bias.

The genocide conspiracy theory is all over instagram and twitter in the United States.

It’s also a right wing complaint, and they’re also silenced for bringing it up.

Everytime someone calls Biden "Left Wing", I roll my eyes. So it's quite possible that you have a different definition of Right Wing than I do.

But Trump, Fox News, and the Republicans are absolutely actively aiding the genocide and squashing dissent.
