Doesnt matter whos truth it is. They have a website that they can post as many lies on as they want. No one is silencing them or denying their freedom of spreading lies.
Which outlet pushed the Russian collusion conspiracy for three years?
Nobody pushed any conspiracy that I am aware of. WaPo did report the facts of the matter as they became available, which is what Journalism is all about.

And that's exactly what WE hope will happen, when Congress acts to strip this social media companies of their Section 230 protections.
Act like propaganda arms of the DNC, get treated like propaganda arms of the DNC. Don't like it? Want to keep suppressing information you don't like while letting other garbage in against one party (such as the "sucker soldier" lies, "Russian pee tapes," etc.)? ..... Then lose your protections as a "platform" and get sued like everyone else.
This election will determine whether social media companies get their come-uppance, or if they cement their status in American politics as election interferers.
But pizza parlors and cake shops must bend to any social/political ideology that they oppose, right? Is that how this works?
If Twitter wants to present itself solely as a left-leaning social network, then they should present itself as that. It's dishonest to say they support free discourse when in fact they do not. For example, Twitter has rules against promoting violence, but those rules are allowed to be ignored if it's by the "correct" ideology or entity.

The Press is not required to publish your opinion, and they may refuse to do so per the First Amendment. 1A does not cover discrimination against protected classes. Google "federally protected classes" for a definitive answer to your question.
Twitter's managment leans left but the platform itself has been pretty much libertarian for a long time - no bias either left or right - until they decided to lock down the NY Post account. That crossed the line as far as I'm concerned.
Simple - If you don't like them, don't visit the site. It's the same freedom that keeps you from having to read newspapers that don't agree with your preconceived notions.
It was fun watching them beg to keep their 230 protection today. They know that they are done without it.
I am fine with them deciding what is or isn't real news. They just have to give up that protection, and they can run their company however they want.
