On facebook and Twitter and others, we cannot say whatever we want. Truth is suppressed while disinformation is allowed. Saying LGBTQ+ people are mentally ill is allowed but mentioning even the word "cisgender" is suppressed. LGBTQ+ content will get removed for being "sexual content" but straight content that's equivalent will be allowed. LGBTQ+ people face repeated harrassment on these platforms, sometimes to the level of terrorism; if they don't feel safe posting about LGBTQ+ topics, they cannot say whatever they want. Hell, they get doxed but there's rarely repercussions for the doxers.
Imagine if I spread lies about you, call you a pedophile, doxx you and then someone SWATs you; would you still feel like you can say anything?
Equality and fairness does not exist on these social platforms.
