Examples?

What would be the problem with a company that is supposedly devoted to free speech stopping censorship?

Hmmmm... not much of an article TBH but certainly one can pull Twitter screaming twitter posts to support every possible idea.

This article is illustrative of the cognitively dissonant argument that removing restrictions on content constitutes censorship.

Sure, it's possible that Musk will see to it that Twitter content is to his liking at the expense of objectivity, but that can happen on any privately-owned platform, including Twitter whether Musk owns it or not. The argument toward the end of the article that Bezos can be trusted not to slant WaPo while Musk cannot be trusted not to slant Twitter is a completely unfounded assertion that NPR's editors let go unchallenged.
