On one hand, the increased censoriousness of Silicon Valley platforms is real. On the other hand, all it takes is for you to have one bad take for me to laugh at you doing the Netflix “Cancelled” comedy tour bit in response to it.
As far as RT goes, I learned about them during occupy. They were one of the few outlets on the ground covering things more-or-less as they happened. But they are directed by cranks who hold no political line. I am annoyed at the US platforms for doing this, even though I have little sympathy for RT, because the US platforms do this all the time to much smaller, much more ideologically coherent news sources.
