The rights of free speech and free assembly are critical to a functioning republic, and their curtailment --- even legally, and by private corporations --- is doing great harm to our tottering system. I don't want government to force businesses to allow speech, but we need to actively oppose private enterprises when they limit speech, and support alternatives that embrace freedom.
