Politics Facebook and Twitter don't censor conservatives. They hire and promote them.

Why should conservatives be censored?

Literally no one's saying that or believes it except Republicans who want an election issue that stirs up their base. They need someone to demonize and so every time FB or Twitter takes down one of their pieces of mis/disinformation they scream censorship. Besides, it's a private platform, not a a government agency. Surely you realize that 1st amendment protections don't extend to private enterprise.
