That's not what censorship is
You can literally read what he wrote.
And it's on the website of a PRIVATE CORPORATION. They have the right to do on their website whatever they want. If a private corporation was banned from writing on their own website whatever they want - that would be censorship

Meta's apps will be state controlled and astroturfed heaven.
Threads is there for more social media censoring and for the upcoming U.S. elections.

It is a business with a need to appeal to advertisers and exist within the laws of governments. What did you think would happen when you decided to try and test the waters with it?
Fucking morons.

Yes and that's exactly the point. You either CAN read it or you CAN'T. You either got censored or you can still read it. There is no middle ground.
Freedom of speech is not freedom of reach. Just like Elon said himself.
It also doesn't matter if something is true or not. Free speech should mean I can say "The sky is red". Either people can read that I said that or they can't. It's that simple. And a private corporation - just like a private citizen - has the right to spread and distribute it however they like.
