Twitter needs to be renamed Pravda unironically.
Equating Twitter to Pravda is the same extreme hyperbole as people who equate GOP to Nazis.
Last I checked Twitter is not a state-run operation that will arrest or kill people who report information that it doesn't agree with.
This isn't Pravda, that was KGB. Pravda is a better analogy as it was a newspaper. Your comment just flamed with additional hyperbole. There's no need for that here
I don't think I inflamed anything. You are correct. Pravda did not employ actors who assassinated or arrested other individuals. They were the mouthpiece of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. If Pravda was an independent organization that mischievously drove a specific agenda, I would wholeheartedly agree with you.
Stating that Pravda's and Twitter's actions equate to the same is implying that Pravda, CCCP and KGB only worked towards ensuring dissenting voices did not have a platform, but otherwise left them alone. Completely disconnecting Pravda from the CCCP is a disingenuous view of the role Pravda played in its presentation of the Soviet state and its actions.
Twitter isn't an invisible arm of the US government. So yes, I still believe it's extreme hyperbole.
Some people would say “Yep! No foul play! He left totally of his own volition!” while others, not playing this corrupt PR game, will see it as the same thing as firing.
