Are there examples of this &quot;censorship&quot; available? I&#x27;m under the impression that &quot;censorship&quot; is something of a red herring.<p>Last month, I took a good look at Qanon twitter, and my opinion was that those folks are mainly having technical or conceptual difficulties when they claim &quot;shadow bans&quot; or whatever. A lot of folks haven&#x27;t done the arithmetic about how many people they follow, rate to tweets and how many tweets they read in a day, otherwise they&#x27;d realize you can&#x27;t possibly see everything all your follows put out.<p>It would be totally weird to have technically uninformed people dictate that, say, the CAP theorem be violated to protect their free speech rights.
