    I missed the part where the government imposed this "restriction". Not to mention this nugget from your own link. They didn't remove or delete the content....

    Users who wish to ensure that they continue to see all tweets from the President, Donald Trump Jr. and @DRUDGE_REPORT will have to manually disable their content filter. This can be done by unchecking the box marked “hide sensitive content” in your safety settings.


    But scream about censorship and fake news.

    Twitter, FB, youtube, google have reached too big to fail in the social media space, insofar as they hold a clear monopoly over the intellectual traffic moving through social media and the interwebs.

    I'm not for more Govt restriction, so down't twist, but if you can't see the need for political impartiality among these social media goliaths, then you need to sit on a rusty conical cheese grater.

    Wednesday 2PM.

    Derek: Oh wow, no clouds today. The sun is out.

    HondoFS: No it's not.

    Derek: What? Just look up at the sky. Pure blue, not a cloud in sight.

    HondoFS: You'd like me to do that, wouldn't you?

    Derek: Huh?

    HondoFS: Just more of your fake news. Don't you dare try to shove your pro-Trump agenda down MY throat!
    Cool story bro.

    Criticize these companies for their contradictory policies and enforcement, but bringing freedom of speech/FA issues into it is a bad look. There are progressives who've advocated for public funding for newspapers like NYT. It's bad there and it's bad here. It's a couple click away from nationalizing media.
