> old Twitter decided to censor a NYPost article

Which article, about what subject?

Are there NYPost articles you feel people should be prevented from DMing? Or posting, for that matter?

Why do you refuse to answer the question?

The story you are referring to involved the New York Post or its affiliates breaking in to Hunter Biden's laptop (a felony) and publishing his personal correspondence, complete with unredacted phone numbers and email addresses. This violated Twitter's policies against doxxing and dissemination of hacked materials. Characterizing this as censorship is misleading; the story contained no newsworthy information and its publication violated longstanding Twitter policy. It's hard to imagine Twitter functioning without such a policy. I don't see any reason the New York Post should get away with violating it just because it claims to be a newspaper.

The Wall Street Journal, a Murdoch rag like the Post and hardly known for its liberal bias, declined to publish this information, which is why it wound up in the disreputable Post instead. Respectable journalists have ethical standards. Act like thugs, get treated like thugs.

Your phone relaying your voice to someone isn't compelled speech on the part of the telecoms.

There's an argument that when a platform is big enough, it's a common carrier.

They censored the Hunter Biden laptop story weeks before the election.
