"Trump administration writ large have used the “censorship” lie as a cudgel. [...] Substack is just woefully late in recognizing it. They still seem to be in denial, making an appeal to democratic values and reason within an administration that has demonstrated neither."
Finally finished writing my piece about Substack leadership's realization that Trump and Co don't actually give a rat's ass about free speech.
I think it makes for pretty good July 4 reading.
