[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele]They do no such thing. It is one of the biggest nothingburgers in recent history. Please, in specific detail, list anything that was illegal or even unethical that was revealed.

For example, the White House Press Secretary had her account frozen for tweeting about a New York Post article about Hunters laptop in the month before the 2020 election. I would say that was an abuse of power and an unethical decision by twitter.[/quote]

Twitter made a decision that the laptop story violated its terms of service. The White House Press Secretary violated the terms of service and had her account frozen until she removed the tweet in question. That is not unethical. To the contrary, it would have been unethical to allow the Press Secretary to violate terms of service to which others were held to account.

Ah. So, if Twitter decides that all mentions of BLM violate its terms of service and shuts down the White House Press Secretary’s account for talking about BLM, will you also defend that? Why or why not?

Your position seems to be that anything Twitter decides violates its TOS is fair and ethical to suppress.[/quote]

I would defend it to the extent that it is their right to do it. It would also be my right to stop using Twitter in response. Twitter, just like me on this website, can allow or not allow anything it wants. Welcome to private enterprise.
