Gotta agree with most of the crowd here, Koby. Trump is still able to communicate his thoughts via a dozen other media outlets.
In order for him to be censored, then Trump would have to have NO mechanism whatsoever of expressing his opinions.
I think a fairer display of bias, on both sides, is what information each news outlet/social media outlet chooses to cover and which information they choose to deliberately NOT cover.
The argument is valid for everyone from FoxNews/OAN to Facebook/Twitter.
Although I disagree with many of Koby's comments, I think yours comes off as very viseral and emotional, bordering on hateful.
Failure to respond will count as such a retraction.
Failure to respond by what date? If he chooses to wait until May 11th, 2023 @ 07:13:09 AM, and then dump a couple of gigs worth of proof, will you apologize? Will you provide a complete retraction of everything you have ever said on this site. Now?
Arguing will count as such a retraction.
By definition, if he were to provide said proof, that IS his argument, is it not?
Trolling will count as such a retraction.
I've never met Koby, and I have called him out on his opinions before. My responses here are merely to point out that the five parameters you list that count as a retraction seem to be, as I said, to be a very viseral, emotional reaction to an opinion you disagree with, rather than a definitive argument as to why you believe Koby is incorrect in his assertation.
Misdirection/whataboutism will count as such a retraction.<br /> Any response other than that which has been requested will count as such a retraction.
Those last 2 were just amusing.
If the basic tenet of "Freedom of Speech" is designed to foster discussion between 2 opposing viewpoints, yours, quite honestly, sounds like you're not interested in letting him voice his opinion. And that is exactly what it is.....HIS OPINION.
Mike could exercise his editorial right (as owner of this blog) to simply delete Koby's comment (including the link that allows users to see it if they want.)
On April 12, 1955, the day the Salk vaccine was declared “safe, effective and potent,” legendary CBS newsman Edward R. Morrow interviewed its creator and asked who owned the patent. “Well, the people, I would say,” said Salk in light of the millions of charitable donations raised by the March of Dimes that funded the vaccine’s research and field testing. “There is no patent. Could you patent the sun?” Lawyers for the foundation had investigated the possibility of patenting the vaccine but did not pursue it, in part because of Salk’s reluctance.

I refer you to Dr. Jonas Salk, who invented the cure for polio. If he hadn't secured that patent, imagine all the billions of dollars he would have lost....
......oh, wait, THAT NEVER HAPPENED. He NEVER patented it. He gave it away for THE GREATER GOOD OF SOCIETY, not to make fistfuls of cash....
I have probably disagreed with you more than I have agreed with you on your various comments on this blog.
And even though I must wholeheartedly disagree with you on the Section 230 argument, I do enjoy reading your comments. If the FCC borks Section 230 I will, alas, miss those diatribes.
Because if Section 230 is dismantled as Mike/Steve et al. have described, Techdirt (and pretty much every website that has user generated comments), will be forced into a position of taking down the ability for you to post your comments and for me to love/hate them.

Point number 6:
Salk did not patent his vaccine.
