Can you provide some data about the scale of 'conservative voices... censored prior to 2022'? I have used the platform a long time, trying to take in a balanced set of news sources. I do not believe that conservatives ever had a problem getting their voice heard on the platform... All of Charlie Kirk's (vile) tweets are still up, for example.
Anecdata and all that, but my observation as a long time Twitter user is that it was always possible to find conservative voices on the platform. What has changed with Elon is the proliferation of accounts with names like PatriotMom1776 positing hundreds of times a day exclusively about how Democrats are Islamist Communists. Ironically, I've found it harder now to find good content from real conservative posters who I might not agree with but who offer a different perspective to my own.
