No citation needed for Twitter censorship, just badmouth Elmo and you'll see what happens to your reach.

So people specifically get there to be as big of an ass as they can be and then get all pikachu.jpg when they get banned?

It's a private platform, not a public utility. They can choose their customers.

The point of these videos is that no platform that values freedom of expression and diverse points of view would have auto-ban systems for the kinds of things that he said. X is massively more liberal in what it allows and what it tolerates before it will ban someone than Blue Sky. So the EFF's claims are totally disingenuous and I don't think people should stand for it no matter where they stand politically.

Youtube videos are not reliable sources.

Blue Sky has like 3 dozen employees or something nuts like that. They have no time to perform censoring at the scale other platforms do.
