he wasn't complaining about shadow bans in a philosophical sense, he was complaining about them being used against the "wrong" people the whole time. the sooner we realize that right wingers make self-serving complaints and dress them up as matters of fairness or civility, the less likely we are to fall for them in the first place.
Conservatives operate on the principle that there's an in group and an out group. The in group is protected by law and the out group is bound by it.

Like bellybuttons.
I haven't seen any of the anti cancel culture people complain about anti-war groups being targeted currently. It was never about the principle, they just want to be able to say the n-word in public again.
