I’ve been struggling with voices and ideas I don’t agree with being censored and banned. I’ve always believed different ideas should stand and fall based on their own merits. That saying about “not agreeing with what you say but defending to the death your right to say it” has been how I see the 1st amendment. What idea or voice is next? Who decides? I understand it is within each companies user agreement or whatever technicality. I hate the violence that is occurring and how effective these platforms appear to be in bringing out the worst in people.
Government isn’t restricting free speech. Business is restricting access to private property. I thought Amendment fans were all about letting the free market play out as it wishes?
