What free speech people fail to understand is...

you can say whatever you want but not everywhere... if you come to our house and talk shit about my family you will ge kicked out. same with twitter or other platforms... you have no right to be there... its a privilege.
you can say whatever you want on 4chan or apparently here too... but you have no right to say whatever you want at every place.

Facebook and Twitter need to give up their platform protections if they want to act as publishers and censor people. They shouldn't get to have their cake and eat it too. They get to have their cake and eat it too because they're in bed with the government which means they're not truly private. The government outsources their censorship to their Big Tech friends and then NPCs think violating free speech is okay because the government's business partners are doing it for them. Free speech is one of the most important and basic rights and people shouldn't tolerate censorship. What's the point of block features if people are going to be babies and cry for censorship? Also, free speech on 4chan is a myth because 4chan censors people too, unfortunately.

@AJS30 Yes, there’s a difference in protections for private and public platforms and what’s wrong is how the big names get to have their cake and eat it too. What you’re saying is what I wish more people understood. Unfortunately the internet is still the Wild West due to how new it is and people including the government will take advantage of that for as long as they can. It’s currently lawless and I do hope that changes in our distant future because no law simply means those in power get to have all of it.
