The problem is, that they often did it at government officials' direction.

No. I’m not. It was obvious several years ago that this is what was happening. Alex Berenson proved it in Court as well.

Of course not, but it’s useful that the CEO of the company admitted it openly.

Thanks for the verification that it was only conservative viewpoints.

Is the pendulum going to swing the other way, or is it just let bygones be bygones?

It is a sea change for sure. Can it hold is my question. I am curious if Elon will take on lockdowns/vax or pharma/health officials. Remains to be seen.

No, but that's not the question. The question is 'can a free nation remain free when the major vehicles of discourse and information dissemination censor all but the views they ideologically support?'.

Propaganda works, and has led to public acceptance of genocide more than once. Our work is cut out for us.

No.

Its not the point.

The point is ithas publicly been admitted by a source that can’t be brushed off as a conservative conspiracy theory.

"We don't hear much about Democrats and leftists being let back on Twitter. Why?" he asked.
"Because they were never kicked off in the first place. Their lies and misinformation simply escaped all scrutiny. Censorship has been deployed as a one-way operation against conservatives."

What we always suspected...
