Facebook is suspending people for so-called hate speech as well - commenting on FBI crime statistics for example.

They ask the question of whether or not Twitter’s new policy prohibiting hate, violent, or threatening speech can be and/or is being used by Leftists and/or Twitter to censor conservative speech on Twitter? They then discuss the ways in which Twitter and Leftists are already doing so and may very likely be expected to do more so.

"Me pointing this out..." - hate speech.
