Topic: 2020 US presidential election

Allegations of election fraud were met with increased content moderation, resulting in the removal of posts and accounts that questioned the official narrative. This environment of heightened censorship raises concerns about free speech and the ability of individuals to express dissenting views in the digital public square.
