    They try to avoid giving quacks a platform to misinform the public.
    If you don’t like it, tell trump and the gang to stop lying all the time.
    Oops, too late.

    Social media platforms are trying their best to influence the election.

    A mask is a symbol of compliance to authority. A simple rag over your face protects no one from anything.

    It’s a shame how easily people have been shamed into complying with abusive Government.

    That quack advises our president.
    If his quacking is bad - shouldn’t the public know about it?

    Twitter is a hard left wing sewer.

    What's the alternative besides just letting them do that? We really want the government to step in and make a mandate saying Twitter isn't allowed to block government officials on their platform or something?

    The cdc director isn’t being censored, neither is Fauci.

    If Trump (or his Administration) have any problems with Twitter's policies, then they are free to stop using Twitter.
    ^Problem solved.

    Twitter should remove tweets that spread information about the effectiveness of masks that defy the scientific consensus.

    It doesn’t matter.
    He advises the president.
    The public must be able to know the opinion of a person that advises the person they elected.

    It seems that you want sites supposedly dedicated to the concept of free speech censor speech, right?

    If you reinterpret their new rules, Twitter should delete half of the tweets out there. Globally.

    What did they lie about? Liberals are upset that Trump personally didn’t beat the mask drum from the start.

    If what he’s saying is right, then why did the trump admin lie to us about masks for 6 months?
