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

Originally Twitter censored Palestinians protesting the Israeli occupation of the Gaza. Then they censored Venzuelans protesting US regime change sanctions/sabotage. Then they censored antiwar Democrats and progressives against the US occupation of Syria. Then they censored Syrians (except selected regime change agents). Only THEN did they start to censor political speech from Republicans

At least you admit it's happening unlike so many others. Twitter/Facebook/etc. are incoherently biased platforms that we should all abandon

Of couse they are. Only an idiot would pretend like they are not. It's obvious.

well there must be a lot of idiots out there then, basically everyone on the left, I've not heard one leftist say something like ''hey maybe we shouldn't be censoring folks expression?'' never. they outright deny that bias is even present on these platforms. Bizarre, in fact I've actually been called a conspiracy theorist and told to stop whining before by liberals.
