They do censor people on platforms, but the right does that too but very rarely, doesn't make it right either way, however they're both sucky in the censoring people aspect.

[@derek978]

@@BroDgamer1 Cencoring history? Can you give examples where the right tried to? And when it comes to censorship, the left definitely takes the award. Almost everyone by default would identify to be left leaning simply because how the left is portrayed being empathic, tolerable of minorities, allies of LGBT and so on. Of course people would want to be on the empathic side. Although they are not so tolerable to people who question their beliefs. We've seen far too many examples of the left becoming so very bothered by opposing sides speaking on ANY plateform they see them on. They have tried to shut down protests, meetings, rallies and so on. The left also have a very tight grip on the media and social media so of course people who identify being right leaning are usually the minority on those platforms as most are banned and or suspended for mild things that are considered controversial. Overall today the left is in almost complete control when it comes to censorship. Almost to the point of authoritarianism.
