Crimethinc, the same anarchist collective in the OP who is complaining about getting banned from twitter by Musk, has been banned by social media before.

The idea that there are "two sides" and that one was "in power" before and the other now, is an over-simplification.

I can't find an exact piece to quote now, but I know I saw crimethinc and/or other anarchists urging people not to get so excited about calling for twitter to ban things too, on the grounds of: Don't count on capitalists or the state to rescue us, they will much prefer to use their tools against us, and overall the power twitter has to control discourse is the problem and we've got to get off of it.
