I would say I’m looking forward to all the “platforms need to censor themselves” people complaining every time they don’t agree with each particular act of self-censorship, but I’m not looking forward to it at all. It’s going to be super tedious and exhausting.

at the end of the day, no matter how you frame it, you are defending political censorship, and that is not only wrong but dangerous.
