NYT’s Kara Swisher: Twitter Is Not Censoring People, It’s Called ‘Content Moderation’

‘You are using the team censors, others people don’t agree with that, so I am going to push back on that’

EXCERPT:

SWISHER: "Well, you are using the team 'censors,' other people don’t agree with that, so I am going to push back on that. I think it's they have content moderation like a lot of these social network sites, and the biggest one obviously is Donald Trump. So what they did is on January 8th, they suspended him permanently, which is kind of a permanent word, and the question is, you know, a lot of people had pushed back on that, including Elon at the time, because even if you agree he broke the rules, only one person decided that, right, on this platform and it was an important platform for Donald Trump. And so I think people are worried that he’s going to bring back Donald Trump. I think on the left, I think that’s one worry. Others are worried that he’s going to impose all kinds of — allow all kinds of, you know, bile to run over Twitter when they’ve been trying to clean it up.”
