>I'm also able to observe plenty of speech by people who identify themselves as right-wing/conservative being propagated via Facebook, Twitter, and Google.
As I've repeatedly pointed out, that these opinions still exist on the platform does not imply that they are not being suppressed. Yes, this is a strawman, because I'm not arguing that they are completely banned, as you're implying.
>I believe that every person or institution has the legal and moral right to make decisions about which speech is valuable
It's really odd how you devote about half of your ramblings to claiming that censorship/suppression are not occurring on twitter, and the other half defending their freedom to do so (which I'm not even arguing against, I just think it's slimy and potentially dangerous to society). While also disingeniously rationalizing the behavior by insisting that it isn't censorship if twitter is not a state.
Oh, anyone who's followed our exchange can tell you're into repetition. Almost like a religious mantra.
And while there's a lot I could also repeat here, the following is the only novel ground we haven't covered yet and it's ... interesting:

You really think that's odd? I mean, that's not just "LOL", that's "chef's kiss LOL."
In either exploration or argument, it's entirely standard to both refute an assertion, and then for thoroughness sake to also look down the road and say "let's say we accept your assertion, here's why it doesn't mean what you think it means."
This is not only honest, it's thorough. And if you think it's strange, then it sure seems like you're... pretty new to exploratory or argumentative discussion.

You do not argue honestly.
