Most have no idea that for over two years, since the censorship regime began with Trump being de-platformed, aggressive high volume cyberspace information warfare with bots employed on both sides took place, that only recently settled down somewhat with Elon Musk purchasing Twitter.
It is common to believe that platforms can restrict users, and they can, but it should also be noted that engineers ideologically opposed to censorship also exist, and have the means to deploy bots in service to their cause as well.
Censorship, i.e. de-platforming Trump, feels great, but it is foolish. It encourages as a moral imperative the spread of low cost misinformation and propaganda as a means to overwhelm the ability of the censorship regime to censor speech to force them to capitulate.
