Same on Twitter / X. Posts criticizing Musk or Trump or their friends like Thiel are suppressed. Many users report that those posts get far less views than their other posts, in a suspicious pattern. Musk probably had their real algorithm (that’s live) configured to amplify some views and suppress others.

Same here too, for the record. At least for the past year. Not all, but very many.
People complain about it all the time, but any posts about it get deleted almost immediately by express mod decree.
I do understand that this latest 24 hours is a different level, but would not be surprised if censorship has dramatically escalated here recently also. We've no way to know.
They do. Not unflagging an important story is just as much censorship as flagging it yourself. And it happens here a hell of a lot.
Try and make a post questioning what stories get unflagged, or asking about moderation logs, or even asking for a debate on the flagging system. It will be rapidly removed; and if you ask for permission it will be denied.
That's censorship, and it has been getting more and more extreme. But you can't post about it - guess why.
There's a coordinated push to paint Epstein as a pro Russian actor. Meanwhile we're supposed to ignore the fact that he was in constant contact with high level Israeli officials, to the point of having an ex prime minister spend extensive time at his home.
Let's also ignore the Israeli government owning units in the New York apartment building that he was also deeply involved in. He took part in the building's management and used it to house many of his associates, employees, and victims.
His life was much more intertwined with Israeli officialdom than with any connection to the Russians.
He had very close ties to wealthy Zionists like Robert Maxwell and Leslie Wexner of the Victoria's secret Fortune. Together with his lawyer Alan Dershowitz he sought to smear and blackball John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt over their book "The Israeli Lobby and US foreign policy".
So what makes more sense here? Was he a Russian asset or an Israeli one?
