Twitter bans posters who question the narrative if they get too many followers.
Right.
Twitter isn't the federal government. We could just go back to writing letters and speaking to each other in person =)

For now...
Even that is slowly becoming less available with laws against “hate speech” (hate being defined as anything questioning the narrative) and criminalizing words like “illegal immigrant”. Don’t forget that they are trying to use red flag laws to take away these same rights by attributing questioning the narrative as a symptom of mental illness to justify taking away one’s rights. We are already dangerously close to what China is doing to her citizens.
We’re not there yet, but it doesn’t take a prophet to see the direction we’re being led.

We're no more losing our 1st amendment rights today than we were at any other point in our history when private companies chose to cater to the whims of oppressive foreign governments in the name of their bottom lines

I guess you forgot that access to Google has been blocked in China since 2012 and more recently also in Hong Kong.
Google already helped China set up their state run network for spying on their citizens but Google and others spy on Americans for their Chinese.

what if it’s another country’s government taking away our rights via corporate censorship.
What country has taken away your 1st Amendment rights? Is our government prosecuting you for something you've said?
The fact this post got any downvotes shows how little the general public understand the BoR.
