If Conservatives are allowed equal space to state their ideas, how can the concept of real freedom survive?

Liberals cheat with censorship and cancel culture because they can't compete in a free marketplace of ideas.

Also, I would add theft and appropriation of existing ideas that they pervert to suit their own agenda to their list of misdeeds.

Conservatives cheat with gerrymandering and voter suppression because they can't compete in free and fair elections...

Both parties gerrymander. Voter ID is not voter suppression. The Democrats cheat by importing voters instead of appealing to citizens.

I wouldn't worry. I'm sure they will adjust Section 230 and make him personally responsible for every nutjob who posts on Twitter. There will be investigations and Congress hearings and the stock will plummet.

There won't be stock.

How nuts are you to think the owner of Twitter brings about the end of society?

Just echoing the sentiments I've heard many Leftists express on this matter.

If Twitter is no longer allowed to block new stories that are unfavorable to left-wing politicians then Western Civilization as we know it will fall!

Yes. We can't allow billionaires to control the free flow of information. I am already packing my bags and ready to emigrate to Canada.
