Or to put it more accurately, many so-called "conservative" politicians rely on outright lies, far more on average than so-called "liberal" politicians these days, to the point that anything enforcing truth in politics is going to be seen as having an anti-conservative-politician bias. Twitter's moderation tries to veer toward verified truth… Adrian<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Excellent, now Twitter under the leadership of Musk gets a chance to prove that contention about reality. The censorship on Twitter becomes open, public domain, so we can see what has been censored and why. Create a folder for censored material that Twitter didn’t allow. Make that folder public domain, stuff that you can get to, but isn’t allowed on Twitter. Then the public gets a chance to decide if reality has a liberal bias. From my point of view, there is burden of proof required which is not being carried.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>My notion is that truth has a libertarian bias.
