> This was a factual response about market realities You simply read "niche" as something like "A focused, targetable part of a market for certain products or services that has unmet demand". As I said, replace it with untapped potential and your "thesis" doesn't apply, while my point remains unchanged. > Exercising judgement in what ideas one relays is a duty to society, and enabling that is the core point of freedom of speech. Yes, and that's fine for private forums and video games, and birthday parties and all that. > Indeed it is not, so why would you deny it to the firms you are pointing to? Why are you trying to hard to not get my point which is in plain English, and then expect me to answer that first? Because they're not persons, and they're offering themselves as middlemen, as services with which we communicate and even engage in politics with. Is the fact that the mailman can't rewrite my letters or decide on a "case by case basis" whether to deliver them infringing on their free speech? No. > Comparing deplatforming to lynching is ludicrous and disgusting. I called it virtual lynching. Where the motive is to completely remove a person, out of sight out of mind, if they starve, who cares, that applies. The way the people go about it, that's just mob hatred. If you find calling that out disgusting, it says something about you, it doesn't change what it is. If you're going to talk about what is disgusting, try this totally irrelevant tangent about the word "niche", without having a point, in a topic you are not interested in, where a person pretty much asked for help.
