Does anyone remember the days when internet media companies didn’t want to censor anything? Because after all it costs more and puts them in a position where nobody is satisfied?

And do you remember when they were called onto the carpet by repeated congressional committees for…

Allowing copyright violations?

Allowing terrorists’ messages?

Allowing misinformation relating to elections?

Allowing hate speech?

Now censoring misinformation?

Do you remember when you were incensed by the inaction of media companies and demanded action, and now are dismayed that they are acting?

Not even a little bit. Some of us have been ideologically consistent that censorship is not helpful.
