Getting kicked out of walmart is because of property rights and laws about trespassing.
Being censored for wrongthink has nothing to do with trespassing.
False equivalence.
Why can't you just admit that it's censorship and you just agree with it?
Again, literally no one is being kicked off social media for their partisan views,
You're just so deep in your fucking idiot bubble, that I believe you believe this.
You really need to start reading things you disagree with. You act like a cultist.

Did you not read the defintion of censorship? Or did you just fail to comprehend it? Here it is again. Maybe repetition will help.
cen·sor (sĕn′sər)
n.
A person authorized to examine books, films, or other material and to remove or suppress what is considered morally, politically, or otherwise objectionable.
An official, as in the armed forces, who examines personal mail and official dispatches to remove information considered secret or a risk to security.
One that condemns or censures.
One of two officials in ancient Rome responsible for taking the public census and supervising public behavior and morals.
Psychology The component of the unconscious that is posited by psychoanalytic theory to be responsible for preventing certain thoughts or feelings from reaching the conscious mind.
For those unaware of the background, Mr Masnick's article -- while perfectly sound in itself -- leaves out some details that I suspect most of us might find at least a little bit relevant.
Except it isn't. Because he completely and utterly refuses to call censorship censorship if it's being done for the Left reasons, or to conservatives.
he's just another partisan hack.
And, yes, there is a MASSIVE fucking difference between being kicked off a private platform, and the government shutting down an entire website. If you can't see that, you're not a "conservative," you're an ignorant fool.
Yes, one is partisan censorship, and the other is justice for being a partisan censor.
Tell me, yes or no, since you like inflicting false dichotomies on others - did they remove or suppress what is considered morally, politically, or otherwise?
If yes, then it's censorship.
A person authorized to examine books, films, or other material and to remove or suppress what is considered morally, politically, or otherwise objectionable.
An official, as in the armed forces, who examines personal mail and official dispatches to remove information considered secret or a risk to security.

Just because you agree with the censorship doesn't make it not censorship. Hopefully this will help you understand censorship since you seem unable to grasp the concept.
Yes or no, Koby, and I really want you to fucking answer this one: Does a platform choosing to censor speech justify the censorship of that entire platform by a government body?
dat mental gymnastics.
"forced to <do nothing>"
lol
You're a joke.
...says the troll who's consistently been carrying water for the alt-right's desperate attempt to make the online equivalent of bars cease throwing them out for being unpleasant assholes.
Says the troll who makes strawman fallacies, ad hominems and thinks they're gotchas.
Doing nothing: Allowing speech on a platform built to allow posts
Voluntary action: censorship by removing posts to a platform built to allow posts
Compelled action: Being forced to print a letter
You're trying to pretend the first is the third and nobody is falling for that strawman.
That's the core of it. Censorship is a voluntary action, and anti-free speech advocates are pretending doing nothing (leaving posts alone) is something onerous and horrible, and compulsory.
It's dishonest in the extreme.

The election integrity protestors had the right location, just not the best reason.

The fact that you instantly, and always resort to ad hominems says a lot about you, and nothing about the people you're pestering with fallacies.

Nigeria is a private company.
If twitter doesn't like this, they are free to create their own Nigeria.
