Or about the situation regarding censorship in the USA, which makes this a rather blatant political propaganda piece by itself.

For those who feel like censorship in the USA is less problematic, because it's not state controlled (that is, if it actually isn't) .. consider this: If business can introduce arbitrary censorship, regardless of justification, on platforms that are widely used by many, is this not far more dangerous than any state controlled censorship?

While any governments can of course ignore their supposed accountability for their behavior, business have far less of that accountability to begin with. Although, if the USA was true state of law (not a powerful banana republic pretending), it should hold those companies accountable for limiting the freedoms of citizens regarding what should be allowed according and protected by law. But heck, almost all (emerging) fascistic systems have started (and flourished) on a collusion between corrupt business and an equally criminal government, with a shared interests in each expanding their own powers and influence.

Almost funny to see articles like these coming from the USA these day, knowing in which direction the country is currently moving. Somehow "the emperor has no clothes" comes to mind.
