But if conservatives say 4x more things worthy of censorship then that isn't a problem.

The idea that algorithms are wrong if liberals and conservatives are not censored 50/50 is just absurd.

On the conservative side today many have embraced Trumpism and quasi-Fascism. There is a higher prevalence of conspiracy theory beliefs. Naturally that is going to lead to more censorship. There is nothing odd about that.

That is like complaining about water being wet.

To expose a problem one has to be able to point out concrete cases and explain why censorship in this case was wrong. Just blatantly stating that it must be wrong because more conservatives got censored is not convincing.
