I am not sure what you are talking about. What authority, other than the courts, could punish you or force you to stop talking?

Are you just saying that moderation should be illegal? In what way would going to court help you if you've been moderated off a platform?

Are you attacking some sort of straw man central censorship authority that would exist outside of the courts?

Several posts upthread, you said: "I think there are ways to regulate and pushing blatant disinformation while leaving the greyer borders up to individual discretion and discernment." So, who gets to regulate? That's your authority that is "other than the courts".
