Freedom of speech isn't absolute, and it doesn't guarantee you a platform, and the 1st Amendment does only protect you from government, not companies.
I don't see what the point of your comment is. It seems like you're dunking on "the left" for... being factually correct?
- stackedinserter 1y agoMy point is that so called "progressives" kept justifying and even celebrating censorship for more than a decade, but screeching and screaming now, when it hit themselves.
- krapp 1y agoNo one was justifying or celebrating censorship then, and no one is screeching and screaming now. It seems you're trying to imply that "progressives" are being hypocritical (although I don't know what specifically is "progressive" in this context), but there is no hypocrisy in recognizing that private platforms have the right to enforce policies while also protesting those policies. That's how free speech actually works. As opposed to what conservatives were doing not long ago, which is demanding the government forcibly take over social media platforms and make banning them illegal. Talk about screeching and screaming.
- stackedinserter 1y agoWhat's the point of this post then. Enjoy your own medicine.
