Actually, it really does. It's just that there is no freedom from consequences.

The New York Post was banned from twitter for posting a piece on Hunter Biden's laptop seeing how they had one of hundreds of copies of his hard drive. That is a fact.
The Babylon Bee was banned last month from twitter for naming Rachel Levine its Man of the Year. That is a fact.

WTF does that have to do with when her transgender identity was known? You claim Biden held it back. You're dead wrong. It was well known well before Biden appointed her.
I could care less who got banned from Twitter. Anyone who feels their "freedom of speech", is being denied, seems to wind up here at Techspot anyway. You get to pump out the same crap, just to a smaller audience.
BTW, I'm not so "woke", I can't appreciate Babylon Bee's "joke".:.

I have no idea what 'transgender identity' is but I do know that The Babylon Bee was banned from Twitter last month for naming Rachel Levine its Man of the Year,
But those posts do get deleted, which is what upset Techspots right wing cabal in the first place.
.
But that was because, as the Post does, they took the facts. And then made up some of their own. That is also a fact.

I see the liberal dog sled was late with your newspaper too.
Oh well here: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/transgender
In this case it means he was a man that thought he was a woman, and is now, (ostensibly), a woman
The Beatles explained it in "Get Back", a long, long, time ago., sic:
"Sweet Loretta Modern thought she was a woman
But she was another man
All the girls around her said she's got it comin'
But she gets it while she can"".

Not sure what that has to do with the Babylon Bee being banned from Twitter for naming Rachel Levine its Man of the Year.

Jack Dorsey says the New York Post Twitter account will remain locked until it deletes the original tweet featuring its Hunter Biden story
Dorsey spoke during a committee hearing on Section 230, the law that states tech firms cannot be held liable for content published on their platforms.

Ya it was this part of that link: 'Skeptics noted that the Ukrainian energy company in question, Burisma, had been previously hacked by the Russian military, and raised concerns that the emails the Post article was based on could have been the result of a Russian disinformation effort.'I love that so much, I had to give you a like. ꓘOMЯADЗ Neverproof, wants proof!

The fact of the matter is that Twitter was sent a copy of the laptop hard drive yet they knew it might have an adverse effect on the election so they banned the NYP. btw nobody but the zombies is buying 'The Russians did it' spiel.

It's really sad that you can't carry on a train of thought. You spout a load of sh!t how, "Biden didn't tell everyone that Levine was a man", and get proven wrong, and you're back with the Babylon Bee Bullsh!t again.
First off, laugh out loud funny and totally tasteless but not worth the consequences of posting are not mutually exclusive.
Maybe Mr. Bee should have considered Mark Twain's observation, “Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.”

Let's try this one more time ... 'Why was The Babylon Bee banned from Twitter for naming Rachel Levine its Man of the Year.'
btw I'd hate to think Twitter was anti science.

Sure. There is no freedom of speech here, nor on almost any other public forum or venue, because we're not the government and do not have to suffer through things like an absence of civility.
A lot of people do understand that is actually a great benefit, and would not try to impose an ill fitting standard like freedom of speech on something like Twitter. But Musk is an exceptional human being, with parts mad genius offset by parts autistic simpleton.

It can't be "pro science if I just had to link you the definition of "transgender", now can it?

Twitter said it was because of 'hateful conduct'. Because you know, purposefully misgendering is rude, and that was the joke. I'm guessing you'd disagree, but you're not Twitter so it doesn't matter.

The Babylon Bee named Rachel Levine its Man of the Year last month and was banned from Twitter for that. So much for freedom of speech when you're banned for stating a scientific fact. I could identify as a horse but I wouldn't expect anyone to be punished for not identifying me as anything but a horse.

Twitter does not have to respect freedom of speech. I feel that is obvious and has been covered adequately. What is it you do not understand about that?

It doesn't have to nor does it hence the reason most of us know Twitter is pushing an agenda which includes anti science. Hopefully Elon Musk fixes that issue no matter how hard the establishment tries to stop him.

I don't feel the goal of that effort by Twitter's moderators was anti science as much as anti rudeness, but I agree Elon will almost certainly aim to do away with that. Because he personally has no need to be polite to anyone and lacks the empathy to understand what benefit that might bring.

It's a great quote, but ironic given your projection that Twitter's goal is to push an agenda. Clearly, their priority was protecting their platform.I'm reminded of this George Orwell quote after reading that post.
I told you this before. They considered it mockery\bullying.
Talk less, read more.
That quote describes the trump CONServative perfectly.
