Is the article false?
Well, for starters, junior posts that twitter banned Trump, but fails to mention how Trump repeatedly violated various rules: https://www.npr.org/2021/01/08/9547...citing-risk-of-further-incitement-of-violence
Then he tries to twist the FACT that folk complained how media platforms (along with our security depts.) were lax in stopping the Russian aligned groups intent on disinformation and such. Somehow, in his mind the failure of the very Stasi-like agency that his ilk championed is proof of the Dem/liberal/progressive overreach and attempts to control free speech.

His mocking Robert Reich is indeed hilarious. Twitter was a private enterprise creation...not unlike Fox News, or Clear Channel and the like. And until Musk, it wasn't a mouthpiece for the neo-fascist mindset of the likes of Murdoch, who own a newspapers, TV and a radio station in America (yeah, our Anti-Trust laws are history). Case in point https://www.theguardian.com/media/2...ia-fox-trump-white-house-circa-breitbart-news
So yeah, this "opinion" piece suffers from right wing myopia. And don't start with "but what about...?", because the focus here is Musk, his past blathering and how that is a possible threat to Twitter as a non-fascistic site.
