Honestly the real problem though... is the double edged problem. Sadly the majority of people that are censored... are ones that no one wants to listen to, self admitted white supremacists, Flat earthers, anti vax, school shooting deniers etc...
The problem is in the ideal world, those types aren't censored, but are burried on the simple ground of being outnumbered. But sadly they are a larger fringe than people that just care about free speach... and thus when a platform opens without censorship, instead of representing the actual reality, it disproportionately gets overtaken by the hateful extremists.
