I'm saying the laws are basically the same, it's why I referred you to a specific section. 9 years difference. And the intent is the same for cases like Boeberts.

A 17 year old is not as mature as 24, 25 year old. Most 14 year olds are incapable of rationally weighing consequences. The difference between 17 and 25 is almost 30%. That's a lot of life experience.

No, it's reality. If you break the rules/TOS, you can get banned. Social media platforms, forums like this one, registrars, any place that has rules/TOS.

If you feel it leaned one way, then MAGA Musk is making up for it.

Several left-wing activists had their Twitter accounts suspended after a false-report campaign by far-right users​

This is a side issue. Twitter was a run / staffed by left wing zealots. Conservatives were banned at a far greater rate. That's really not debatable.

Look back to the "blue check purge". Almost all conservatives.

We're not disagreeing on that.

Yes, higher rate because under Trump hate and white Nationalism jumped and more of them were violating the rules, like the ones against threats, hate speech etc.

On the contrary, in 2020 Twitter commissioned a study about whether its algorithm is biased, and it found that it actually amplified conservatives voices more than liberal ones...

That's Trump lying about his skills as a negotiator. Americans who continue to speak for and vote in favour of Trump are not “patriots”, but rather, by association with oligarch Don, they're just a proxy wing for Putin.

Wow.

Sad to lose a voice of reason to a cult.

I disagree

Wow.

Thanks for the props, but if anything, I'm anti-cult.

I daresay, you have a selective memory...

Violating rules like saying "the virus was made in a lab", "mask don't work" or "learn to code". All true.

Your "white nationalist" crutch is worn out.

An independent leftist confirmed their bias.

It's not a crutch, people who have said racist things towards people on Twitter got banned. One example was the Daily Stormer that Elon let back

An independent leftist confirmed their bias.

Twitter confirmed their own biased algorithm, having hired researchers from Cambridge and Berkeley to test.

Twitter admits bias in algorithm for rightwing politicians and news outlets​

The research found that in six out of seven countries, apart from Germany, tweets from rightwing politicians received more amplification from the algorithm than those from the left; right-leaning news organisations were more amplified than those on the left; and generally politicians’ tweets were more amplified by an algorithmic timeline than by the chronological timeline.

They are what they accuse others of being. In this case, racist:
