A block on Twitter doesn't say anything unless you know why they were blocked and know the person. Blocking can be more than warranted and justified. Be it spam, toxicity, harassment, or similar things. "I saw a screenshot of someone being blocked on Twitter" is not a good foundation for an argument.
They talk about malware in npm packages. One example isn't enough to make a general claim that all software with political opinions or voices becomes malware.
When a platform follows sanctions, and the law, I don't think you can claim them to be political and activism decisions. If you want to make that argument and want to do so in an absolutist fashion (not assess and reduce risks but evade them entirely), then you can only self-host and I guess on your own servers? No platforms, no services?
… which has nothing to do with political views and especially not political views of the original authors and sellers.
No. None of what was written before showed me any of that.
