Evelyn Beatrice Hall. Confusingly, she wrote it in her book Friends of Voltaire, so you're not AS guilty of Internet Misattribution as is normal for these kinds of memes - BUT you still need to do your homework on this kind of thing.

How is censorship misattributed to twitter?

Because you're still allowed to say it, just not on Twitter. We call that moderation, not censorship.

Yes, change the meaning of words. Ingsoc 1984

No no, like, if you bring up the original meaning of the words in the first place, they're very clear that you're just being a drama queen. Twitter doesn't have to publish things it doesn't want to on your behalf. That's all it is.

It’s still censorship based on their liberal anti conservative slant. Which is what the left depends on, ignorance and on-sided views to get ANY followers

According to section 230 they do.

You are either purposefully lying or ignorant due to never reading 230 or simply spinning it to serve your personal agenda

230 Does not grant you 1st Amendment rights ANYWHERE you please. That is a fact case closed

Who closed the case? Nope 230 protections apply to free speech platforms not people who are essentially publishing and editorializing a narrative.

You are so desperate you are now taking issue with a figure of speech lolol Again keep crying you are not going to be proven correct about your complaints.

Just kill the competition like a good monopoly.

Yes, actually they do. Unless of course they are presenting a viewpoint which makes them a publisher and not covered under 230 protections. At the very least they have to enforce equally so lots of leftist sites need to be banned because they are full of calls to violence and foul language.

The statement rings true regardless. Voltaire was the accepted attribution until recently.
