This is incorrect - it's not "the people listening" that are showing you the door, but the corporations mediating your speech, despite having willing listeners.
Edit as reply because I am "posting too fast": RPM didn't write "your listeners", just "the people listening"?
"The people listening" is not an accurate or honest term for "social and other media corporations", even if some of their board-members sometimes listen to some of the speakers they eventually censor.

(although note that for me this whole free speech brouhaha seems massively overblown, as I have the great fortune to live in a country with a late 20th century constitution instead of some creaking 18th century legacy)
