Cloudflare said it will fight the penalty and threatened to remove all of its servers from Italian cities.

What about censoring neo Nazis? What about banning Trump from Twitter?

What government entity does Twitter represent?

People seems to be fine with corporate censorship, but government censorship is somehow a no-no. I don’t get it. Corporate censorship is still censorship, but it’s now worse. Because you have now given up democratic control of what to censor, and let the tech billionaires have free reign over it. Twitter could ban Trump today, and promote fascism tomorrow and you’d have no say. (oh waiiit, that actually happened?!?!). If you think twitter banning Trump in 2021 is a good thing, why won’t you want the power to vote to ban Trump?

I could be wrong, I am open to change my mind, but please give me a good counter-argument.

It’s not somehow a no-no. It’s literally banned by the Constitution
