All Twitter needs to do now is ban anybody who accuses them of censorship.

footnote: Although its not technically censorship if its not a government doing it. I am using the word in a broader sense for platforms that present themselves as politically neutral places of open communication targeting particular speech for a political agenda because there isn't a better word I know for this.

I say join, tweet nothing except censorship on Twitter. Basically, make them ban you to show Twitter censorship is true.

“footnote: Although its not technically censorship if its not a government doing it.”

No. It’s censorship. Just not a violation of the First Amendment, and thus, possibly legal.

yes, it is censorship, it is just not a violation of 1st since the govt is not doing it.

Clandestine Censorship is not part of a free society.
