There is no right to free speech in forums. The forum or a service like twitter are some one else's property. While you have the right to say what you want in public, I don't have to let you stand on MY front lawn if you want to spout hate speech. But if you stand in the street there is nothing I can do about it. Same thing here, Twitter is under no obligation to allow you to say what you want, they own the sand box and they set the rules. Apparently they just don't the gumption to enforce them.
- xlnt 18y agoUmm. It's twitter's decision. Twitter decided. This person -- who has a problem with free expression -- thinks twitter decided wrong. And then misleads about what happened -- e.g., saying twitter won't enforce ToS when actually they just don't want free speech banned on their site.
- krschultz 18y agoIts not free speech. Free speech is protected by law. By framing it as "free speech" you are saying anyone against this man is against free speech. He can say whatever the hell he wants, but it is not protected free speech. All the people who cry "BUT FREE SPEECH" on the internet whenever someone gets banned are idiots. The constitution protects you from the government, specifically the federal government, not from corporations acting within their own rights. If you can't understand something that basic, then I truly don't value your opinion.
