I disagree. While ZH does have a fair share of this type of news, most of it just contrarian point of view (Tesla bashing, for instance). I read ZH pretty much daily and I personally have no issues understanding which article is which.

I agree. While there are many articles that are questionably sourced and there are many articles with which I profoundly disagree (mostly advocating Austrian style economics and unfettered capitalism), it also provides a forum for viewpoints that are actually quite progressive and liberal (particularly when it comes to civil liberties). I'd rather be the one separating the wheat from the chaff for myself than Facebook or its ilk filtering it for me.

Note that the ZH comments section, however, is a cesspit filled with all sort of -ists.

Blocking content like zh on the socials is really the same as Tim Allen/Roseanne/James Gunn being fired for things they've said. The company cares sooo much about what their audiences think that they won't let said audiences decide for themselves what to think. It's not supply produced to meet an existing demand but versa vice. Legally these companies may have the right to censor like so, but ethically they do not, and they belittle their customers in the doing.
