But blocking political speech equally from one subreddit, is different then say blocking an article about a presidential son's laptop from multiple entire platforms.

As I said, I don't think this concept of moderation works when applied to an open discussion forum such as Facebook or Twitter, where nothing is actually off-topic, and where people generally feel that they are communicating with friends and followers and can thus set any tone their own community accepts.

But still, if the Hunter Biden laptop story were removed from the Linux Kernel Mailing List, from StackOverflow and from LWN.net (entire platforms), I wouldn't accuse these particular platforms of censorship.
