Both #Twitter and #BlueSky are censoring the hashtag "protest/s" right now. They show 1 post every few minutes (under Latest), which is very unrealistic. Now, here's how I know that they are censoring it: BSky shows the hashtag as trending, despite not showing many results under "Latest". However, for the hashtag "handsoff" (which is less likely to be used) shows MANY results. Twitter has censored all these words, but Bsky's implementation is not as good, and it shows censoring.
