It’s not censorship when they’re removing posts by both sides.
Yes it is censorship, it could be censorship with reduced bias, it might even be appropriate censorship. But it is literally censorship to censor speech.
If you read who I was responding to, they are asserting that this is political censorship of pro-Israel content. It may be censorship, but not towards a certain political viewpoint, just towards assholes.

It mostly looks like the same 2-3 trolls posting inflammatory content that is getting removed.
