I bet it's Milo Yiannopoulos, as all it takes for conservatives to consider someone an intelligent conservative is for them to be a guy who was on TV as a right wing pundit once.
Content Moderation that will please both sides is impossible.
The Left will always focus on the worst elements who're smart enough to manage to skirt around the rules, to walk along the edge of what's acceptable without ever straying over the line, and the Right will obsess over those who get banned that they agree with without ever stopping to seriously think about why they were given the boot, and will fixate over the loss of followers every time there's a purge of Bot accounts, acting as though they're human conservative voices being silenced rather than being part of misinformation infrastructure.
My, that's lot of effort gone to in order to say 'Waugh! The left are the real racists and the reason I hate minorities, women and LGBQT people is because they get offended by my hatred towards them!' without actually using those words.
Nobody is making you be an arsehole but you, words mean things and saying horrible things should have consequences online as it would in person. If you shouted out slurs and death threats towards others in a shopping mall, you would be kicked out and banned from ever setting foot in there again and the same applies to online platforms. Twitter, Facebook, Google and others are not obligated to give people a platform to spout hatespeech because they're on the right, they have no more of a right to rant there unchallenged as they are to have a slot on the evening news.
