Well the two separate thread openers both stated the questions were these.

Post 204 in a thread is a thread opener? Here are the OPs in question, neither of which states those questions:

OK Let's do this: who thinks social media's recent bannings are first amendment violations?

Amendment I Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

Banning incitement to violence, or anything else that’s actually illegal, should not be a problem. But going further and banning political speech (and that includes ‘hate speech’ when it can be defined so broadly) is a freedom of expres…

The first one could have easily been a GQ, as it had a factual answer that almost everyone but the OP and the person who started the second OP in question agreed on, yet it continued until a moderator closed it because there was no actual debate to be had.

The second one, well, I’ll let that one speak for itself, but it also doesn’t ask the questions you seem to think it does.
