Referring to Twitter de-verifying conservatives like Breitbart’s Milo Yiannopoulos while leaving the Kill Trump account up?
Or the ability to flag posts because they disagree with your opinion, mostly used by liberals to flag / censor conservatives?

Then again, Facebook has done the same for years.

Sorry, yeah, I was a little unclear:

I understand Twitter has screwed both with Drudge and Milo.

In fact, their treatment is worse than banning them:

With some types of digital hushing via Twitter, the victims can sometimes remain totally unaware that their posts have been put into the dark and are unfindable to their followers.

There are censorship victims, yet there is not even any outward sign there are victims, which means the hushing can continue, undiminished, ad infinitum.
