> When you say "Free Speech"

You are the only person in this thread who has used "free speech" in a comment so far.

> If you want to talk about some other idea, that's not the legal concept of free speech, but how you want Internet companies to operate in the U.S.

The comment you are responding to did just that.

I'm sorry, of course he didn't use those words exactly you're correct. There's no need to be so pedantic though, clearly that's the concept the people he is responding to are talking about.

A says that this should be considered "free speech" (not in words but in intention) B says that Paypal isn't a government entity. C says that shouldn't matter.

I'm responding to C, so I say "When you say Free Speech" as a rhetorical technique to recenter our argument on the thing actually being discussed. I apologize if there was confusion or it seemed I was being clever or something.
