I don’t think it is a question of entitlement. Just because you have a mic and want to go on a racist rant about other cultures, I don’t think this should be protected by free speech.
Similarly, the core issue from the article is stated as illegal content. One can only imagine why social media platforms don’t want to take action on that.

You're essentially making the claim that somebody shouldn't be able to say something that offends some people even if it's true, which is a great way to shut down discourse and enforce the status quo, because there's no limit to what people can claim to be offended by.
- potato-peeler 1y agoThat’s a very narrow minded way to look at this. If your intention is to hurt or humiliate someone, or make jokes at the expense of others, then yes, you should not be allowed to voice or participate in such discussions.
- bilekas 1y agoMy opinion might be different to yours, we should be free to discuss it without the fear of not aligning. You know how this plays out.
- potato-peeler 1y agoEven on this platform there is some level of moderation. There is a basic expectation of people being kind to each other. One can freely discuss whatever they want, but that should not mean not maintaining decency during discussions.
