Incorrect, very very very incorrect
I am alarmed by the fact that people believe the only censorship by government is a problem or what "free speech" means.
A society can be completely devoid of free speech while not having any government censorship at all. We are seeing the manifestation of such a society today.
Government censorship is only one kind, and only 1 threat to free speech, but it is far far far from the only threat.
> Any company can tell you to fuck off for any reason though,
Yes, yes they can. But if they do they should not be able to advertise, collect money, and promote being "for everyone" or "adovating for the free and open web" or other such statements. That is and should be considered fraud if they do such things.
If Mozilla wants to be a censorship platform, they need to own it in their marketing, mission statement, and public advocacy
> the free market all the "free speech" advocates love so much.
It is always amusing with Authoritarian and socialist promote the "free market" when it comes to censorship when in reality they have not idea what they are talking about
