It is new. Elon has intentionally redesigned Twitter to surface right-wing and extremist opinions, which no longer get banned, in order to purge the "woke mind-virus", and the platform is flooded with bots.

Claiming that the platform is exactly the same as it's always been and then pointing out one substantial change from the way it's always been, is an insane degree of cognitive dissonance.

"Surface"? At least we agree on the censoring because before it was only left-wing extremism.

It might be more of a case of "if you're accustomed to left-wing bias, a balanced media feels like right-wing bias..."

The quote you're appropriating, "When you're accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression” doesn't really apply in this context because we're talking about actual right-wing content, which many people find offensive on its own merits.

And many people find actual left-wing content offensive "on it's merits".

Not sure what point you are making?
